Publisher's Synopsis
From the tale of betrayal and infidelity that unfolded in ancient Egypt during the time of the pyramids, to that of an account of how a homely cat meets a rude fate, from the daily, taxing routine of a suburban commuter to that of a ghostly but tragic tale of a farmer during the British Raj, these stories have something for everyone. Combining the transcendental with the mundane, using a medley of techniques, they capture the essence of life and manners. They are the best while on a long journey or for arm chair reading.
