Aditi and the One-eyed Monkey

An ant, a monkey, an elephant and a young girl set out to tame a fiery dragon! There is fun and adventure in this ‘fairytale'' that stands convention on its head.

A dragon is scorching the countryside, and will stop only if the king and queen send their granddaughter Aditi to him. So Aditi must go. But a one-eyed monkey, an ant, and an elephant decide to accompany her. Armed with a cloak of invisibility, a ball of magic clay, and a Sword of Courage, the four friends set off to look for this fierce dragon.

Is it fair to slay a sleeping dragon?
Can you make friends if you aren''t friendly?

Infused with magic realism, the Aditi Adventures series features Aditi and her Friends – an ant, a one-eyed monkey, an elephant and two dragons. Their adventures take them to different countries, even to outer space and cyberspace, and also raise questions about identity, character and friendship.
