Tales of Birbal & Other Stories (Pack of 10 Books)

There’s no greater teacher than a prank-playing jester. Amar Chitra Katha’s Tales of Birbal and Other Stories is a collection of witty stories featuring some of the wisest jesters and ministers in folklore.

Summary of the Book

Kings and Emperors are always right. At least, that’s what they want everyone to think. However, not all of their followers will agree with them. Sometimes, it is necessary to knock a king off his high-horse. But when that act comes with a risk of execution, who could have the guts to try it? Execution and exile has never really bothered the court jester. If the King orders him to never show his face again, one can always trust the jester to return with a pot covering his head, like Tenali Raman. When the Emperor tries to have him executed, the jester will always fake his death and teach him the value of having a comedian around by vanishing, just like the witty Birbal. It doesn’t matter if one’s liege is Akbar the Great or Krishnadevaraya the Mighty, in the face of comedy, everyone is merely a part of the audience.
