| Summary/Abstract |
In this comic book all the data about the Mughal dynasty and the lives of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal are derived from historical resources, but the story of Ustad Isa and Parvati's romance is pure literary fiction; that was created with the purpose of explaining the magical and inexplicable attraction of the Taj.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this book Ruskin Bond skilfully and creatively compiles a set of short stories, all of which have a strand of wickdeness of some kind running through them. Sometimes the protagonists are wicked; sometimes the author is. But rather than being conventional tales of good and evil, this collection showcases the dark side that all human beings have, and the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, sometimes frightening situations that reveal this aspect of their characters.
