About This Book

A pet monkey named Dago recounts a week of episodic adventures and recollections to the mirror-monkey in a parlour, moving from an attic escape to memories of forest life. The narrative alternates mischievous incidents and tender domestic scenes as the monkey interacts with household members, causes comic mishaps, and survives scrapes and rescues. Each chapter corresponds to a day, shaping the tale into short, self-contained episodes woven with nostalgia, humor, and gentle moral observation. Illustrations punctuate the text and reinforce its warm, anecdotal tone.
