More funny, clever trickster tales from India. Prince Veera's
great-uncle, Raja Apoorva, invites the prince and his best friend,
Suku, to the summer festival in Peetalpur, where they participate
in some of the competitions. Can they make the peahen sing, though
peahens can't sing? Or win the painting competition, or even defeat
the country's champion wrestler? The boys face each challenge with
great wit and wisdom. Back at the palace, they are faced with more
challenges. Raja Apoorva enjoys puzzles and presents several to the
boys: who was the intruder who dared to pull the Raja's beard? How
can the journey to the seaside be shortened? And at court it's
Prince Veera and Suku who will decide which neighbour owns the tree
that produces the wonderful figs for the palace, as well as solve
the mysteries of the holy man and the astronomer. Four stories
packed with clever and amusing tricks and puzzles which will
delight children from 6 to 8 - and well beyond.
