by Samit Basu & Ashish Padlekar Some old stories never lose their bite. The tales of Vishnu Sharma have barely begun and already he's been kidnapped by talking animals, had a near-death experience with a homicidal boy wizard, and now he's expected to walk INTO a book called the Panchatantra, the ancient collection of Indian fables of which Vishnu is supposedly the guardian. If that weren't enough, when Vishnu is pulled inside the pages of folklore and fantasy, death and oblivion seem all too real. This fairytale is more like a nightmare, where 'THE END' is something he desperately wants to avoid. Cover price $2.99.
