This is , if memory serves right, is the first fiction novel I ever read. Loaned to me by my Uncle, I just lapped it up. An absolute marvel. The genre is fantasy and I will rate the world it builds as good as Harry Potter or A song of ice and fire. It is more than a 100 years old but it should be read more. It should atleast be a gift to every young child by their parents. It did spawn a hugely popular television adaptation and the book itself was extremely popular at the time it was published.Really adventurous..Awesome book..
One of the most enchanted books I ever read. Personally I am not very fond of romantic stories so I kept it aside for a long while. But at the same time it is a wonderful story full of magical tricks. Not a magic which can summon mythical beast or celestial weapon, but a pure earthly science which makes the story more real. Everywhere there is a game of wit, talent and cunning which keeps your brain occupied in an attempt to guess what might have happened and what may come next.My suggestion

Chandrakanta is India's fitting answer to the Persian tales of magic and adventure, popularly known as Dastans. It is the story of a beautiful princess, a valiant prince who loves her, some bad men who covet her, a Tilisma, or a magical place, where she gets imprisoned, and a whole lot of Aiyaars, or spy-magicians, helping both the good and the bad sides. It is the latter ones that hold the centre-stage in this story; they can change their appearance at will, they can carry heavy loads, they can
