The comic capers of Sheikh Chilli

About this book

A daydreamer. An innocent fool. A simpleton. A fakir. Sheikh Chilli was all this and more. So whether it was believing that a watermelon was a horse's egg, dreaming that he was a mouse and was being chased all over the village by a cat, or tricking the miserly kazi into paying him a year's salary. Sheikh Chilli's sometimes foolish and often laughable antics have made him a favorite with generations of children. This collection of twenty tales contains all the fun and wisdom that make the stories of Sheikh Chilli so widely read and well loved.
