About this listen

Daksha lives in a hamlet on the Himalayas. As an orphan, she learns native medicine by assisting a vaidya. A chance encounter brings her to the notice of people, who move her to town and admit her to a school.

Daksha is unhappy there and wants to return to her hamlet–until a resourceful doctor helps her adjust to her new life.

Daksha the Medicine Girl and The Missing Girl (also by the author) are used as supplementary readers in some schools in India.
