The wisdom and shrewdness of Birbal was legendary. And coupled with a kind heart that was always willing to help the downtrodden, misunderstood, out-of-luck people of his kingdom, this minister saved many a life, and their hard-earned money. With a flair for understated wit, he managed to soothe and make even the mighty Akbar understand the follies of his ways.
This edition is a collection of short stories showcasing the brilliant mind of Birbal, and is still engaging to read even as an adult.
