5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent rendering of the classic tales
An excellent rendering of the tales of Akbar and Birbal, full of both enjoyment and life lessons. The author has captured the authentic tales in a way that is completely accessible and engaging.

1.0 out of 5 stars
poorly written
This adaptation is poorly written and doesn't do justice to the rich cultural stories from India. The tales of Akbar and Birbal as I heard them growing up were witty and inspirational, but I found this edition to contain stories that were mostly short and dry.

This review is from: Akbar and Birbal (Paperback)
My friend Dhawal recommended this book to me after I mentioned Aesop's Fables to him. Birbal is King Akbar's clever judge; you will enjoy the way he solves the mysteries of the court.This is the only version of the tales I've read, but it has a nice (short) introductory section before each chapter of stories, and is well-written. //
