The Foolish Men of Agra Drawn from the traditional tales of Mogul
India and skillfully retold by Rina Singh, "The Foolish Men Of
Agra" is a collection of ten delightfully funny and poignant
stories. The Mogul emperor, Akbar, is enlightened by the tales of
his clever friend and minister, Birbal. Whether Birbal is
outsmarting his jealous enemies or saving Akbar from his own
foolishness, the stories are consistently amusing, but also convey
the loyalty and affection of the two friends. The stunning
illustrations by Farida Zaman draw inspiration from the mosaic
style of the grand mogul palaces, and perfectly capture the spirit
and charm of these enchanting tales. Zaman's ornate illustrations
convey the rich colors and culture of India through portraits of
characters, snippets of scenes, and decorative chapter openers and
closers. An informative introduction places all of the tales into
historical perspective, and a helpful glossary concludes the
collection, making it all the more accessible. (Folklore. ages
