Malgudi Adventures

by Narayan R.K.

A warm collection of stories set in the small South Indian town of Malgudi. Readers meet Babu, whose plan to light up his sister's Navaratri display goes badly wrong, a snake charmer's boy and his monkey friend Rama, and Raju, who becomes a tourist guide once the railway reaches town. The stories are gentle, funny and full of everyday life, and they are a lovely way to bring a classic Indian writer to older children.
