About The Book

When Upa's father is kidnapped from the tiny village where he was working, she and her mother move to her great-grandmother's house in a small town to recover from the shock. There the dejected and worried mother and daughter are befriended by an odd-looking stranger who insists on telling them stories of King Vikramaditya and his long-lost throne. As Upa and her mother listen to these fables they begin to see the goodness in the people around them and recognize the relevance of the tales of King Vikramaditya in their lives today.

Funny yet thought-provoking, Poile Sengupta's retelling of these ancient stories brings them alive like never before.
