The Poombah of Badoombah was mightier than any king, for he had the power to poombah anything. When he poombahs the potter, his pots leap out of clay. And when he poombahs a weaver, giant carpets fly from the loom. But the Poombah goes too far when he plies his powers on a wealthy nabob riding in a howdah. And before you can say Badoombah, the very naughty Poombah is banished to the countryside where he can make mischief and magic to his heart"s content! Rollicking verse and bright, busy paintings bring to life a funny tale of sorcerers and spells--complete with a glossary of exotic Indian words--in a lively picture book about a most unusual hero!
