Set in Bengal in a vaguely defined past, this tells the story of a boy who joins a group of runaways in the jungle, but whose somewhat mystical bent and fraternal dealings with elephants enable him to play a major role in a city conflict and rescue the princess. Pleasant enough, with a nice twist at the end. MB 22-iii-2023 ( )

I read most to René Guillot's books when I was in high school and I wrote reviews of everything I read back then for my english master whom I liked a lot. I need to read them again.
