Sujan can imitate the calls of all kinds of birds and animals. When he finds himself in the king's court and learns of a fearsome bird-eating monster, he decides to use his skill to defeat the cruel creature and win the princess's heart. In another story, Ratan is cursed by a sage and is turned into an ogre, but his sweet song saves him from a terrible fate. In 'Gangaram's Lucky Stone' a beautiful rainbow-coloured stone rescues Gangaram from all kinds of disasters and even brings him a treasure, but what happens when he gives it away? And, in 'The Magic Moonlight Flower', a young boy goes in search of the flower that will save his father's life, but on the way he will need to fight a cruel king, rescue a prince and slay a nasty serpent. Funny, exciting and full of strange and wonderful humans and supernatural creatures, The Magic Moonlight Flower and Other Enchanting Stories is a delightful collection of stories by a master of children's writing in India.
