'I became one of the tiger's favourites. With a crafty look in his glittering eyes, and his body crouching, he would creep closer and closer to me, suddenly making a dash for my feet, rolling over on his back and kicking with delight, and pretending to bite my ankles.'

Will Timothy the Tiger Cub always get along with people? Does Ranji win the match with his 'lucky bat'? Will Inspector Keemat Lal crack the case of the Rani's mysterious murder? Can a djinn and a human be best friends? Will Koki be allowed on the cricket team despite being a girl?

Find out in this heart-warming collection of Ruskin Bond's best children's stories. Filled with mischievous pets, eccentric friends, kind townsfolk and fun journeys, this book brings to you a variety of stories to give you a peek into carefree childhood days, filled with laughter and excitement.
