Was Tenali Raman a fool or the cleverest man at the court of Krishnadeva Raya? After all, he humbled great kings as well as learned scholars. Wiggling out of every predicament in unique and unexpected ways, this poet-jester reminds us of Birbal at the court of Akbar. Read his tales and laugh with joy even as his plain common sense leaves you gasping.
A good book that is about a clever man who avoids death multiple times. It also has a nice lesson at the end because the man who tried to kill him was humiliated in front of a crowd. I don't like Raman though, he seems obnoxious and very arrogant. 3\5 stars, I liked it, just a bit short.
