Swami and friends is the firrst of a trilogy of novels written by R.K Narayana.very distinctive book.Anything I mention about the book can be mistakenly understood as'spoilers', so I would rather give a glance into the book without mentioning any events or plots of the story.hence.Swami was a mischievous little kid of about 10 or 11 years old and living in era where India was under the British rule. Like most kids of that age, Swami is a kid who cannot stay at one place and absolutely hated school, even worse Mathematics. School is his absolute nightmare. Anyway the story unfolds around the happenings of this kid and how he constantly gets into trouble and gets a good beating from his father as a daily basis.its not a book that can be enjoyed ffrom start to end.it is a book of value.it is a good book to read for a teen or youngsters or any person of any age.it is also widely used as a chapter in asian countries for student who studies literature. .the book is about a mischievous 10 year old boy. conclusion. it can be said that this book is good read for kids of all ages who may just enjoy a good read or who may want to improve their English skills
