Mangoes, Mischief, and Tales of Friendship: Stories from India

Chitra Soundar

A young prince, Veera, and his closest friend appear in a set of original stories shaped by Indian folklore. At the royal court, they use clever thinking to settle disputes brought before the king. Their challenges involve the ruler’s difficult subjects and questions of how to judge fairly. The collection places their friendship alongside courtly problem-solving, drawing on traditional folktale material from India while telling new stories about wit, justice, and decisions.
