Why do snakes have a forked tongue?
Do gods cheat?
Why does Shiva sport a crescent moon on his head?

DESCRIPTION:

JAICO ILLUSTARTED CLASSICS SERIES is a collection of beloved childrens classics read by generations all over the world. Rich with adventures and thrills, these immortal stories with vivid illustrations are designed to delight young readers. WHO WAS the man in the iron mask? Why did he wear a mask? Why was he imprisoned and who imprisoned him? Nobody knows. His identity was a mystery when he lived and more than two and a half centuries later, he is still shrouded in mystery. Some people identify him with Duke of Mammoth, the illegitimate son of Charles II and some with Moliere, the creator of famous comedy Tartuffe. But Alexandre Dumas created this novel identifying the man in the iron mask as the twin brother of Louis XIV. ALEXANDRE DUMAS was an eccentric and wildly successful French writer. He is best known for his tales of high adventure. He is one of the most widely read French authors in the world.

‘…a tall, stooping, elderly gentleman sat down beside me. I gave him a quick glance, noting his swarthy features, heavy moustache, and horn-rimmed spectacles. There was something familiar and disturbing about his face, and I couldn’t resist looking at him again.
I noticed that he was smiling at me.’

The Man Who Was Kipling is a collection of stories which should be on the must-read list of every reader. We are introduced to a man in a museum in London who claims to be the ghost of Rudyard Kipling. Then there is a schoolboy’s encounter with a mysterious woman, while waiting for their trains to arrive. We have an inspector pitting his wits against a murder mystery and a writer who always takes the same route into the city to catch a glimpse of a balcony belonging to a past love. And then there is the timeless classic ‘Sita and the River’ that will tug at your heartstrings. Through this collection, Ruskin Bond has us enthralled, yet again, with his effortless storytelling of these tales and more.
