By Ruskin Bond

Book Overview

When Kamal and his friends gather at Javed Khan's Kashmiri shop at Landour bazaar; he enthralls them with his stories--of princes and kings; fairies and magical animals; supermen and cunning traders. Come; sit around the fire with Kamal; Shashi; Anil; Madhu and Vijay while they listen to Javed Khan's stories of the monkey bride; the man who got swallowed by a mosquito; the bent-up double beggar who angered a ghost; and many other tales from Kashmir and beyond.
