His stories—wry, poignant, erotic and, chiefly, human—bear testimony to Khushwant Singh’s amazing diversity and his skill to create an unforgettable PBI - international. Spanning over part a century, this quantity includes the entire brief tales Khushwant Singh has ever written, together with the delightfully tongue-in-cheek ‘The Maharani of Chootiapuram’, written in 2008. ‘Khushwant’s tales enthrall…[He has]an skill equivalent to that of Somerset Maugham…the skill to entertain intelligently’—PBI - India this day ‘His tales are larger than [those of] any PBI - Indian writing in English—Times of PBI - India ‘The accrued brief tales leaves the reader in a pleasant, drunk trance’—Sunday Chronicle ‘He isn't really a standard brief tale writer…[Collected tales] is pleasant reading’—Hindustan Times
