Ali Baba’s life was far from fantastic. A small house in the poorest part of Mumbai, a loving son and his own auto rickshaw. That was his world. Till one day he accidentally stumbles upon the secret stash of a gang of forty thieves. What follows is a storm that changes his life completely. One little dip into the pile, and Ali Baba brings on more trouble than he had bargained for, as he finds that the robbers aren’t ones to take things lightly. They are dangerous, armed and cunning. And while Ali Baba himself isn’t a greedy man, the secret doesn’t stay with him..

This thrilling graphic novel recreates the classic tale of Ali Baba and Forty Thieves from the Arabian Nights in contemporary times. Full of adventure, it tells you the story of Ali Baba, a regular Mumbai auto-rickshaw driver who outwits an international gang of robbers with the help of his immensely talented and intelligent household help Marjeena. It explores the relevance of the tales of yore in today’s times, and is sure to entertain even the most ardent of Arabian Nights fans, while giving new readers an exciting tale.
