+"ഒന്നും പറ്റാത്ത പെണ്‍കുട്ടി ", Malayalam translation of
+[Kiril Bulychyev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kir_Bulychov)'s
+scifi/fantasy stories.  (English title: "The Girl Nothing Happens To:
+Adventures of 21st-century Alice - Told by Her Father.")
+
+My 1984 copy, published by Social Scientist Pres, Trivandrum, is in
+tatters and literally crumbling on touch.  I thought this book should
+somehow live on, and so I'm trying to preserve this the way I know.  I
+will post the scanned pages when I can.  Help is most welcome!
