Publisher's Summary
Memories of a grandparent spinning tales around animals and mysterious characters have kept many of us rapt till date. Sudha Murty's Grandma’s Bag of Stories is simply delightful. The story starts with Anand, Krishna, Raghu and Meena arriving at their grandparents’ house in Shiggaon. Overjoyed Ajji and Ajja (Grandmother and Grandfather in Kannada) get the house ready, while Ajji prepares delicious snacks for children. Finally, times comes when everyone gathers around Ajji, as she opens her big bag of stories. She tells stories of kings and cheats, princesses and onions, monkeys and mice and scorpions and hidden treasures.
Though unlikely in combination, stories makes perfect sense when Grandma is the one narrating them. This book is ideal for young children and those who are 5+ in age. Stories are accompanied morals. Lucid and simple language of the book make it thoroughly enjoyable.

I loved the stories but the narration?
I don't expect this nonsense from Audible.
The narrator either read it with grammatical errors or the book contained some (which is I suppose unlikely)
No pauses after chapter, no modulation, somewhere the narrator saying 'accha nahi aaya' in hindi indicating "its not well said".
This is such a bad book and I cannot even return it, as its past 7 days.
I love Sudha Murty though and I am sad I have to rate it good for her.
