About this ebook
A funny retelling of an Indian folk tale from best-selling author Narinder Dhami.
Bulbul would much rather sit at home under the mango tree than go to work. And anyway everyone in the village agrees that he is the worst barber in the whole world. Luckily his wife Ruby has a cunning plan to earn money – but first they must outwit a notorious band of thieves!
This comical version of a traditional Indian story from best-selling author Narinder Dhami has entertaining black-and-white illustrations by Amberin Huq and is perfect for children who are developing as readers.
