Book Reviews of The Ninth Jewel of the Mughal Crown : The Birbal Tales from the Oral Traditions of India (Birbal Tales)
Book Review: It's okay, but definitely too expensive
Summary: 3 Stars
When I was younger, I had read some nice Amar Chitra books. Among them was the Birbal series. Now those books were really good, and I was looking to see if I could find them again. But I couldn't find that series anywhere, and I decided I would try out this book.
To be fair, this book is very well illustrated. And it gives a nice history into how Birbal and Akbar first meet (which I didn't know before). And the stories here are similar to what I remember reading as a kid. But after the first few stories, something seems to be lacking and it loses its appeal. There were so many other nice stories about Birbal that I was hoping to read. This book covers only a few of them.
Still, given that it's hard to find anything else, this book isn't so bad. But it is definitely way too expensive. For the price, I would rather have a lot more stories and less pictures.
