this is an absolute treasure.thanks.

"Illustrated by U. Ray and Sons"--wonder who that could be??

This book does not have a Table of Contents. Was there really an author with name Shaikh Chilli? Does any one remember the origin of jokes around a simpleton called Shaikh Chilli?

Ohh, who can forget sheikh chilli? It came in "twinkle" ??? And hindi has incorporated him in itself...

Thank you, Mayankraj. That name has always facinated me. I would like to know more about your thoughts on sheikh chilli in "twinkle" and the Hindi character. Please, can you point me to some sources?
