Description
Whimsical, witty, and surprisingly profound, The Life and Times of Altu Faltu is a delightful fable by acclaimed writer and naturalist Ranjit Lal. Through the adventures of two mischievous monkey brothers, Altu Faltu, the book explores friendship, curiosity, family, and the often absurd world of humans.
Blending humor with gentle wisdom, Lal crafts a story that appeals to readers of all ages. Beneath its playful surface lies a thoughtful reflection on the relationship between people and nature, the importance of community, and the value of seeing the world through fresh eyes.
Filled with charm, imagination, and memorable characters, this book is a modern fable that entertains while inviting readers to think more deeply about the creatures with whom we share our world.
Perfect for younger readers, animal lovers, and adults who enjoy intelligent storytelling with a touch of humor, this is a book that lingers long after the final page.
