A gem and a must read. The best that is available of Birbal's stories. If you have grown up without reading these stories, it's high time to read them now.

As a child, I was crazy for Birbal's stories, all for his wit and intelligence in any situation. I learned being observant was the key to deal with any petty or profound matters of life.

Feeling joyful that I was able to revive my childhood reminiscences with this 5-in-1 collection available on Kindle. No wonder these stories are not meant only for kids but adults too.

These are the evergreen tales that had made Birbal such an unforgettable part of history, despite the textbooks spending barely a few sentences for him. His wit, warmth, and wisdom shines through all political or socio-economic miasma. ACT deserves a Bharatratna for immortalising such figures through sublime art and crisp narration.
Highly recommended.

Stories of Birbal 5-in-1(Kindle Edition) is a book written by Anant Pai in which there are 5 volumes of stories about Birbal Handling many situations.
REVIEW :
The Major Pro hidden in this book is the experience of learning the intelligence of Birbal . I don't know it is fiction or not (I think it is fiction), The Birbal intelligence will entertains you till the last page . Well written moral stories and I like it .

VERDICT : A good story telling book that will provide time pass

Borrowed this book form prime reading .

One of my favourite books in childhood days was a collection of stories of Akbar and Birbal. It was good to revisit the tales of wit and wisdom as a comic. Should find a book that has the complete collection perhaps.

ACK is great to read.

Amar Chitra Katha has been a mentor to us in childhood. Even in adulthood, these tales are memorable, inspiring and teach the right values. I would rate ACK higher than any religious book in these matters.
