Description:

Imagine a magnificent bird with shimmering golden wings landing on your terrace and offering you wonderful gifts! What would you ask for? In this delightful collection from beloved Indian author and Padma Bhushan awardee Sudha Murty, twenty-one enchanting tales come tumbling out one after another — full of cheeky kings with embarrassing donkey ears, clever cooks who outwit pompous teachers, kind little girls rewarded for their generosity (and greedy neighbours who learn a sharp lesson!), princesses, sages, mystical snakes, magic jugs and the secret of why the sea once turned salty. Drawn from India's rich folktale tradition and retold in Sudha Murty's warm, simple, signature style, every story sparkles with humour, wisdom and gentle moral nuggets about kindness, honesty and humility. Brought to life by Ajanta Guhathakurta's joyful colour illustrations — perfect read-aloud magic for in a picture book format ages 6 to 9.
