Stories from Tagore
Stories from Tagore, published in 1918, is a selection of ten of Rabindranath Tagore's Bengali short stories in English, prepared as a reader for Indian schools and students of English. The stories include The Cabuliwallah, in which a fruit-seller from Kabul befriends a Calcutta child; The Home-Coming, about a boy sent away to the city; The Postmaster, Subha, The Castaway and Master Mashai, as well as Once There Was a King, The Child's Return, The Son of Rashmani and The Babus of Nayanjore. Each is followed by a list of words to be studied, and notes at the end explain Indian customs and terms. The stories themselves are classics of Tagore's fiction.
