Vibrant music plays as narrator Vikas Adam begins to tell this collection of tales from India. Adam smoothly transitions from the strong and consistent voice of the narrator to the impactful dialogue of the characters, including the young Prince Veera. When the story opens, the prince is just starting to understand how to be a fair and just ruler with the grace and wit of a powerful sovereign. Important lessons are learned throughout as he uses his problem-solving skills to approach each issue that arises in his kingdom, such as disagreements among neighbors, missing sweets, and the telling of falsehoods.
