Beneath the Mangosteen Tree
A 19-chapter audio book, told as a series on YouTube. The story begins at the Bintang Quarry on the island of Java — a quarry owned by a donkey named Mr. Keledai — the day a wise Bengal tiger called King Rajan arrives and offers every animal the same unusual opportunity. From it grows a tale of friendship, courage and patience.
