Younguncle Comes to Town

In a small, sleepy town in northern India, three children gaze out onto a rain-drenched street, waiting for a most unusual guest. Their fatherƒ??s younger brother is coming to stay. Who is Younguncle? Whatƒ??s his real name? Was he really, truly kidnapped by monkeys when he was little? Can he really make a noise like a sewing machine? Will he ever (heaven forbid!) Settle Down and Get Married? When he finally arrives, Sarita, Ravi and the baby know instantly that their lives will never be the same againƒ??

Meet Indiaƒ??s newest and most engaging literary creation, as he outwits the local hoodlums, rescues the townƒ??s finest milk-cow, evades the babyƒ??s schemes to eat his shirts, flummoxes unwanted in-laws, plucks the hair from a sleeping tigerƒ??s tail, and generally turns the world upside-down. The adventures of Younguncle and his family will entertain, delight and amuse readers of any ageƒ??from babies to ancient old fossils.
