Gopal And Jester

by Urmila Sinha, Souren Roy (Illustrator)

With his presence of mind and unfailing humor, Gopal, the barber, not only made the king of Krishnanagar laugh in the midst of worry or boredom but he also resolved grave matters of state with surprising ease. Bullies and misers, dreamers and the narrow-minded, all got a taste of his wit, much to the delight of readers.

I haven't been reading at all these past few days and this was a great pick to give me the illusion of reading.

Gopal Bhar, being one of the most interesting and comedic characters in Bengali fiction, makes a very good character for an Amar Chitra Katha book. He is sharp, funny, and extremely witty. One can liken him to Birbal in King Akbar's court. The legends bearing his name are just as enigmatic as he must have been. This was a fun read.

This book talks about Gopal, the court jester of king Krishna Chandra of Bengal. He assisted the king many times when he faced trouble from the Nawab. The Hilsa Fish story is the best story in this book and it was really funny to see Gopal dressed in such a fashion to buy a Hilsa fish and dance outside the king's palace. It was nice to see that Gopal had won the reward cleverly from the Nawab by giving excuses stating the trouble he had to take to get the materials. In this book, it is given that he was a barber but in other books it is given that he was a minister. Apart from this, the book was great and I totally recommend it for all.
