The Myna from Peacock Garden

Naiyer Masud (Author) Sagaree Sengupta (Translator)

Synopsis Work is on in full swing in the Royal Peacock Garden to house a wondrous cage that would have forty hill mynas. Soon the cage is full of twittering birds and they are entrusted to Kale Khanâ€™s care. But he steals a myna for his motherless daughter who has long been asking for oneâ€¦ Does Kale Khan receive a royal pardonâ€¦ What lies in store for the beautiful city of Lucknow? Set in the times of the reign of Sultan Wajid Ali Shah, this is a poignant story of a fatherâ€™s love for his daughter-a story that may well have lost in the confusion and tumult of changing times.
