The Gift

Thenali Raman, the court jester who adorned the court of Krishnadevaraya, the emperor of Vijayanagar, is a character loved alike by children as well as adults. He was not merely a court jester, but was also the king’s adviser and a complete diplomat. He is still known for the ability to find solution to problems in his own unique way. The naughtiness, shrewed intelligence, sense of humour, diplomacy and patriotism that characterise Thenali Raman attract people to his personality. And all Thenali Raman stories are purely based on logic, making them popular among all kinds of readers. This collection of Thenali Raman stories is even more attractive due to the simplicity of the narrative, well documented by very imaginative illustrations, which we are sure, will be loved by children.
