Description

Natraj is the likable owner of a print shop, a man with no enemies. His placid life is overturned when Vasu, a powerful taxidermist and a big blustering bully, moves into the attic above his shop; with him come stuffed hyenas, pythons, tigers and a retinue of dancing girls. When in search for a bigger game Vasu threatens the life of the temple elephant, the simple and timid print shop owner turns street-smart, becomes less of a pushover and is ready to take on the big bully. A sizzling temple dancer, Rangi, and Natraj's personal assistant Sastri, add to the novel's unique charm and delightfully wicked humour.
