Tiger For Malgudi

About this book

A venerable tiger old and toothless now looks back over his life from cubhood and early days roaming wild in the Indian jungle. Trapped into a miserable circus career as Raja the magnificent he is then sold into films (co-starring with a beefy Tarzan in a leopard skin) until finding the human world too brutish and bewildering he makes a dramatic bid for freedom. R.K. Narayans story combines Hindu mysticism with ripe Malgudi comedy viewing human absurdities through the eyes of a wild animal and revealing how quite unexpectedly Raja finds sweet companionship and peace.
