While attempting to teach at an inner London comprehensive Will Randall is
taken up by an elderly German woman who asks him to accompany her to India.
Nothing ventured, he agrees and so begins a wonderful life-changing adventure.
Set down in Puna (3 hours from Bombay) he begins work teaching English at a
slum school. Most of the children are orphans or parentless (one lost his
parents four years previously when his mother had let go of his hand at a
railway station and he 'd boarded the wrong train ). When zamidars -slum
barons - arrive and threaten to pull down the school Randall has to put on a
fund-raising performance of the Indian epic The Ramayana in order to help the
slum dwellers buy their own land. Meanwhile he's also been spotted by a
Bollywood Director who persuades him to take the role of leading man in his
new film.
Will Randall is 'the teacher who travels' and, as in SOLOMON TIME, this is a
funny and heart-warming account of how one man's enthusiasm and old-fashioned
desire to do good have helped to preserve a community.
