Little Paul, later to be famously hailed as Kadamattathu Kathanar, had all the makings of a great man despite his orphaned roots. He had a unique geniality, industry, honesty and accommodation that he got into the good books of his foster father-priest and later even the chief of the exocannibal forest dwellers, from whom he learned the skills of magic, illusion creation and incantation. These skills soon stood him in good stead in, inter alia, subduing the notorious ‘Parumala Yakshi’. 
This riveting tale of how divinity shapes mortals to heights is a good read.
