Monkey King is funny, clever and brave. When traveller Lao Tzu tells him about the exquisite fruits that grow in the Heavenly Orchard, Monkey King decides he must try them. But the Heavenly Land is not easy to get to and, once he’s there, how will he convince the Jade Emperor to part with his prized fruit?

Join Monkey King on his adventure to the Heavenly Land in this modern adaptation of a story from Wu Cheng’en’s Journey to the West by Debjani Chatterjee. Debjani has lived in India, Japan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Egypt and Morocco, before coming to Britain in 1972. She has won numerous prizes for her work including the Peterloo Poets Prize.
