Book Synopsis
Theft of a Tree, by the sixteenth-century poet Nandi Timmana, recounts how Krishna stole the pārijāta, a wish-granting tree, from the king of the gods. Krishna gifts the tree to his wife Satyabhama—who must temporarily relinquish it to enjoy endless happiness. The text is presented in the Telugu script alongside the first English translation.

Trade Review
Theft of a Tree is wonderful piece, but it’s not what you’re used to—unless you were born five hundred years ago, in a galaxy far, far away…I had a helluva time, rethinking everything, thanks to this book. -- Anthony Madrid * RHINO *
