To the overwhelming creative power that communicates through every single living spirit, I submit this attempt.
Springs and Streams are the sources of real value of forest, as believed by rural women of Himalayas, hence through the spring of imagination and stream of communication the pre-university students may flourish and enrich themselves not just academically but in all other ways.
This book is an attempt to help pre-university students to understand their texts of literature and grammar from an examination perspective, to analyze and express in detail what the authors have tried to convey through each text and to understand and practice grammatical syntax of English language. Pattern of question paper and mark allocation is taken into consideration while this book is designed.
