by R.K. Narayan, R.K. Laxman
Swami and Friends
Swami and Friends

Youthful escapades amidst India's 1930s backdrop.

"Swami and Friends" is a delightful journey into the heart of childhood where innocence meets the burgeoning tide of history. R.K. Narayan paints a vivid tableau of a young boy's life in a fictional South Indian town, capturing the universal trials of growing up with a tender narrative that resonates with readers young and old. If you're seeking both a charming story and a glimpse into India's past through the eyes of an endearing protagonist, this book is a timeless choice.
