The Adventures of Feluda by Chitrita Banerji, Satyajit Ray

5.0

My 1st Feluda book & immediately fell in love with Ray's storytelling & characterization. Feluda & his cousin Topshe don't sound like wannabe or copycat Homes & Watson. They're unique & interesting in their own way. There're 4 stories in this book, each pretty engrossing, the mystery makes one think hard. But what makes this more enjoyable is Ray's descriptions of people & places, especially Calcutta's history, & his knack to weave brilliant stories out of nothing (he drew inspiration from his observations). While these stories were originally written for kids, they're equally gripping for adults, & there're several interesting trivia for readers of all ages & geographies.
