A collection of elegantly written stories by Tissa Devendra who writes, with humour, nostalgia and sharp observation, of curious characters in little towns, forgotten villages, and old �Kachcheries� where he was fortunate to spend much of his life. He casts a fond and grateful look at the books and �trash� he avidly red, and the little bookshops he haunted, as a schoolboy. His stories are people by the most intriguing persons - gypsies, fading film stars, vampires, lissome dancers, English dukes and lost loves. These wryly-affectionate glimpses of a world, now lost in the mists of time, will fascinate the reader. Tissa Devendra�s earlier �Tales from the Provinces� was short-listed for the Gratiaen Prize 1998.
