“Every class has a Tenali, the one with a quick reply for everything. Hand them their hero, then try the royal portrait puzzle on them before reading on.”
Dacoits, greedy courtiers and royal puzzles: Tenali out-thinks them all.
Tall Tales of Tenali Ramakrishna is a collection of 35 funny stories about the quick-witted courtier of King Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagara.
Tenali starts life with no privilege or power, yet his sharp mind takes him far in the royal court. He solves mysteries, catches out liars and even comes to the king's rescue. Again and again, brains and humour win over brute force and trickery.
