“Birbal winks at the reader from the cover, and that wink sums him up: always one step ahead of the emperor. Expect his punchlines to be retold at the dinner table.”
The Emperor demands a pot full of wit. Over to Birbal.
Akbar & Birbal is a full-colour comic collection of 15 funny, clever tales about Emperor Akbar and his quick-witted adviser, Birbal.
Akbar ruled wisely, but it is Birbal's sharp mind that keeps his court alive in stories today. Here his quick thinking drives tale after tale, as he outsmarts a thief and teaches Akbar a lesson or two. There are moments of justice too, and a warm friendship between emperor and adviser.
Why readers love it
- "The Long Road", where a sweltering ride has Akbar grumbling and Birbal offers to shorten the way.
- A royal order that every village chief must send the emperor a "pot of wit".
- The pot of khichdi hung far from the fire, one of Birbal's cleverest lessons.
