With marvellous multi-layered plots, this book transports young readers into a world full of gods, demons, princesses, sorcerers and also common people.\u003cbr\u003eThese are tales of adventure, romance and good-natured humour. ‘Daughter of the Kino Tree’ celebrates the victory of love against hostile supernatural forces. In another tale, the eponymous Wind God ails with a strange sickness. In ‘Gullava and the Lord of Rain’ the evil king Bhupathi gets all trees chopped to prevent the Lord of Rain from visiting Earth. Naturally, there is a calamity.\u003cbr\u003e‘The Tale of the Flower Queen’ is a play about a wood nymph who can transform into a tree. When the king of the land marries this Pushparani, his jealous senior queen plots to kill her. The fight between humans, who are bent on cutting a tree, and the animal world, which forms a protective ring around it, is a superb climax. The collection includes other fascinating stories too.\u003cbr\u003eKrishna Manavalli’s brilliant English translation brings the rich folk sensibility and a vibrant Kannada idiom to readers of the younger generation and to those young at heart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329542729978,"sku":"YRO8CGD7JV29","price":195.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/9789357021944_1_1.jpg?v=1764744975","url":"https:\/\/www.versoz.com\/products\/yro8cgd7jv29","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
