Basmele bengaleze ne duc intr-o lume plina de culori, o lume in care tigrii vorbesc, iar elefantii poarta in spinare regi si printese impodobite in traditionalele sariuri. Acolo fata mosneagului ingrijeste un bananier si se inchina la picioarele inteleptului care mediteaza in coliba sa sarmana. Cine n-ar vrea sa-l cunoasca pe Mojontali, un motan sarman si flamand care, prin viclenie, ajunge regele padurii? Sau sa se apropie de blandul crocodil Kaku? Ori sa pluteasca pe barca vrajita printre rubine scanteietoare, alaturi de printul alungat de acasa? Nu ne ramane decat sa deschidem cartea si sa pornim la drum...
