THE CAT WHO BECAME KING AND OTHER STORIES FROM INDIA by collection Mukherji, Dhan Gopal

Delightful, funny and thoughtful stories from India come back to life in this

collection.There is the cat who is made king but then has to flee the forest

because he becomes a bit too fat. Madhukara the bee gathers honey, but has to

learn when to stop.The bunny is given many boons by a sage-till he learns

that he does not need to be big and fierce in order to be brave.The conceited

fly believes everyone is afraid of him and goes around annoying all the animals

but meets his match in Hathi the elephant.

Noted childrens writer Dhan Gopal Mukherji gave his own unique twist to

traditional Indian tales.Teeming with creatures big and small-from the fly

to the mighty tiger-each one of these stories teaches gently and humorously

the values of kindness, bravery, and shows that wisdom resides everywhere.

Brought together in one volume for the first time, The Cat Who Became King is a

collection to be savoured and treasured forever.
