Larry is a Hanuman Langur, a type of Monkey named after the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman. He is eight months old, lively, independent and always on the lookout for fun. He lives in the middle of the ancient city of Jodhpur (‘the Blue City'), at the edge of the Great Indian Desert. The city is also home to more than 800,000 people. The monkeys live up on the roofs of their houses, in the tangle of power-lines and aerials. The monkey troop is centred on females – mothers and babies, aunts and grannies. They will stay in this close-knit family their whole lives, up to 20 years. Larry's dad is ‘the Lord of the Blue City', the only adult male monkey in the troop and the father of all its youngsters. Larry will have to learn to steal food at the fruit market (monkey heaven) and to dodge traffic and the threat of electrocution. Another threat to the troop is a tough ‘bachelor gang' of males living outside the city. Their leader, a seasoned warrior called Scarface, wants to take over the Blue City. Can Larry's father survive this challenge?
