Raman of Tenali malayalam
When the king saw a strapping lad astride the aged shoulders of his guru, he knew something was amiss. Soon he realised that, if young Raman was around, it was best to expect the unexpected. This village bumpkin was no fool-even the fiery goddess Kali had given in to his wiles. wheeding his way into the mighty vijayanagaa court, it was but a short step into the heart of King Krishnadeva Raya, who welcomed a laugh or to to lighten his busy day

I love these tales of Raman - the court jester poet who gets the better of everyone who thinks he is a fool - addictive and fun! The lessons learned here are very important: do not judge people based on your perception of who you think they are! You might just be surprised - and it is often that you are to blame for your own perceptions!

Fun book to read
Reminded me of my childhood when we used to read this story.
Drawings are good too and for the situations.

Good read but too short
I was expecting more stories in the book. Don’t get me wrong, the stories that are included are wonderfully cartooned. Good read

Tenali Raman is brilliant and clever
Tenali Raman is brilliant and clever.
He always finds a way to do things he wants to do.
Short stories are both funny and knowledge worthy.

Nice reading as usual from ACK. Entertaining and fun. I used to read ACK books when I was in school. And I still read them.

Childhood nostalgia. Too short though.
rant begins
Like always, as you move south of the Vindhyas, your name automatically gets an n added at the end. You are always a Tamilian (Madrasi). Tenali Rama becomes Tenali Raman for no reason. I'm Srikaran too.

A classic tale of wit and amusement
The presentation of the book is quite intriguing. Though the story line overlaps with birbal's stories, but the beginnings differ extensively. One-time read.

Raman of Tenali is a witty man. One cannot help liking the lovable rogue.
The stories are in line with those of Gopal Bhand, and Birbal. Totally enjoyed.

Light-hearted, short, funny, witty and creative. These are fables of around 30 pages which takes hardly 15 minutes to read through.
This one is a story of a lazy villager whose wits got him into a court, made him rich and ever more witty.
Thanks to these short humours, my days are a bit interesting now. Looking forward to read atleast a ton of them, soon.
These can be found easily on Amazon. I got myself an e-copy of the same.

A Good Short Read
I have been a fan of ACK books and this book nothing but increases that fandom in me. A great book, plenty to learn in such a short time with a really good sense of humour.
