Twelve timeless stories by a master storyteller The creator of immortal films, Satyajit Ray was also a writer of great repute. In this collection are some of his most extraordinary and gripping stories that will take readers to realms of adventure, fantasy and horror. While ï¿½Bonku Babuï¿½s Friendï¿½ deals with a mofussil schoolteacherï¿½s encounter with a friendly and somewhat awkward alien, ï¿½Anath Babuï¿½s Terrorï¿½ is the tale of a ghost hunterï¿½s foray into a haunted house. Meet Bipin Chowdhury, who seems to be suffering from a most disagreeable bout of amnesia, and read the amazing story of a carnivorous plant with a monstrous appetite in ï¿½The Hungry Septopusï¿½. This collection also includes two stories featuring everyoneï¿½s favourite detective, Feluda. Published originally in Bengali as Ek Dojon Goppo, this collectionï¿½the first in a series of short stories written by the master storytellerï¿½is funny, sinister and intriguing by turns and truly a must-have.
