The Trotternama
Penguin Random House India
Art direction for the cover for The Trotternama by Irwin Allen Sealy,
illustrated by Rujuta Thakurdesai.
Trotter-nama is not a story that'd get over in a minute and that's exactly why it's a classic. This chronicle of seven generations of Trotters finding the true meaning of their identity happily turned 30 last year. Reading the adventure saga of this glorious family struggling to keep up with the changing times, is itself an experience.

The delightful work of Rujuta Thakurdesai (@rujuta.td) has offered this anniversary edition a refreshing look. We envisioned a cover that would deliver a sense of journey that has lived beyond time while drawing references from an oddly amusing event that actually happens in this epic and then one fine day, it was really there!
