Book synopsis

Short & Shorter Stories is a lovely pictorial collection of stories curated vastly from the Indian subcontinent. From Indian folk tales of Bengal and Rajasthan, to folk tales of Kashmir and Burma, the book provides a delightful glimpse into the rich, distinct and ancient cultural heritages of diverse regions. It also has some wonderful stories from around the world from China and Africa. This wonderfully illustrated book will engage all with its stories of vice, virtue, honour and compassion. From tales of wit and courage, trickery and cunning, to stories of friendship and morals, the book shares a range of fascinating fables among children and young readers. Enjoy as you read through tales of the clever and learned Tenali Raman or those of the witty and sharp Gopal Bhand. Short & Shorter Stories is a quick, fun read with stories that will make you laugh, think, and inspire, while some will kindle your imagination. Delve into this treasure-trove of tales for endless joy and learning. All the stories presented in this volume have been sourced from the archives of Amrita Bharati, media wing of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan whose founder was Kulapati Munshi, a prolific writer and champion of Indian culture and traditions. The stories have been penned by Luis Fernandes, former editor (2007-11) of Tinkle comics. He is also the author of several Amar Chitra Katha titles and an offbeat children's book, The Guest Who Came to Dinner published by Ratna Sagar in 1995. The illustrations are done by veteran artist Gautam Sen.
