Basheer lived the last 30 years of his life in the quiet seaside town of Beypore, outside Calicut and was so well-loved that he acquired the sobriquet 'Beypore Sultan'. In Vylalil House, he used to spend his happiest hours 'under the Mangosteen tree' in his garden, writing, listening to music and narrating his stories to an eager gathering of admirers.
Under the Mangosteen Tree is a tribute to this literary icon in his centenary year.
