The King of Katunga is a moral fable for modern times; a fairytale story told by a grandmother through the eyers of her grandson, Rufus.
Rufus, with his childlike innocence, 'picks' a rose for his Grandma Joycelyn without paying for it. Grandma Joycelyn, torn between love and the need to reprimand, invokes her inner grandma magic and draws Rufus into the magical land of Katunga. This is a tale of a kingdom... A king and his dilemma and the ultimate test... Who wins? What happens next? Does Rufus learn his lesson? In the end it is only the virtue of honesty that leads to victory.
Jenny Mohan weaves an exciting narrative set in the magical kingdom of Katunga. Her fable creates a sense of comfort, and love and provides a deep lesson. The king of Katunga is a story every chid must hear and learn from.
