It's on a bright hot summer's day when the hero of our story is transported into a world of hysterically funny characters and bizarre happenings. A cat materializes out of a handkerchief and old men stumble out of a tree- but that is just the beginning! As his new friends get stranger and stranger, the eccentric tension culminates into one of the strangest trials in all of literature. Sukumar Ray's delightful nonsense story was originally called Ha Ja Ba Ra La, a random combination of letters from the Bengali alphabet. It is now adapted into English for the enjoyment of the Western world with adaptations of names and phrases which are just as zany as the Bengali originals.
