Children's book
Its a very short, children book by veteran author ruskin bond about his childhood tales told to him by his cook Mehmoud who was also a ex-cook of famous hunter Jim Corbett in jungle, once upon a time, in early 1920's. The short stories consisted of a tiger in courtyard, crocodile chasing cook on his bed in river, cobra cooking around him and even ghost as eye ball under a pillow :-p. These 'tall' tales were much spiced by the cook, simply to regale a small child in kitchen while he served him food :-p. The audio book was over in just less than 40 minutes flat with few,short chapters. The children would love this. 3 stars.
