Author : Fawzia Gilani Williams
Illustrator : Deepa Balsavar
A hot summer day, an old man in dusty clothes who calls himself a maharaja, a little boy Munna who believes him, and a teashop full of people who don’t… With the familiar feel of a folktale, this delightful story keeps the reader guessing till the end! Going with the flavour, Deepa Balsavar chooses an illustrative style that’s “part folksy, part whimsy”, giving a contemporary setting to a traditional tale. Pictures carry the whiff of a hot-dry landscape with pops of colour, gathering the hustle-bustle of Munna’s day with a man who is or is not a maharaja!

A new take on the traditional tales
A whimsical tale, Munna and the Maharaja, a new take on the traditional tales… - "The Book Review"
A wonderfully joyful book about kindness and sharing. .
I love the illustrations done by one of my favourites....Deepa Balsavar. She always manages to create a whimsical feel, the colours warm and summery. . Don’t miss this book. In the world filled with illustrations which pounce out at you and story lines that scream out, a book like this could easily get lost in the melee! this one is one is a gem that you could easily miss. @mythaunty on instagram
