Summary
When Grandma opens her bag of stories， everyone gathers Around。
Who can resist a good story， especially when it’s being told by Grandma？ From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats， monkeys and mice， bears and gods。 Here comes the bear who ate some really bad dessert and got very angry; a lazy man who would not put out a fire till it reached his beard; a princess who got turned into an onion; a queen who discovered silk， and many more weird and wonderful people and animals。
Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights， as seven children enjoy life in her little town。 The stories entertain， educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them。 So come， why don’t you too join in the fun？

Simple， light and， engaging short stories written against an Indian backdrop - exactly what you can expect from any of Mrs。 Murthy's books， and this one is no different。This book took me back to the summer vacations at my grandmother's place， the only difference being that my grandmother wasn't much of a storyteller。 This book filled that void for me。 I will never understand how a book leaves you with a certain sense of warmth， that is probably the magic of Mrs。 Murthy's writing。 Simple， light and， engaging short stories written against an Indian backdrop - exactly what you can expect from any of Mrs。 Murthy's books， and this one is no different。This book took me back to the summer vacations at my grandmother's place， the only difference being that my grandmother wasn't much of a storyteller。 This book filled that void for me。 I will never understand how a book leaves you with a certain sense of warmth， that is probably the magic of Mrs。 Murthy's writing。 。。。more

Her style of writing is so kid's friendly and the stories are so engrossing。 We all have heard similar stories from our grandparents but now have forgotten the essence of it， maybe due to huge social media transformation and digitalization has taken a monstrous form， at least for little kids。The book is loved by my son and he keeps going back to the book even when he has read it many times。 It is a collection of beautiful stories and I couldn't have asked for more。 Her style of writing is so kid's friendly and the stories are so engrossing。 We all have heard similar stories from our grandparents but now have forgotten the essence of it， maybe due to huge social media transformation and digitalization has taken a monstrous form， at least for little kids。The book is loved by my son and he keeps going back to the book even when he has read it many times。 It is a collection of beautiful stories and I couldn't have asked for more。 。。。more

This book is a compilation of many short stories， some funny， some adventurous and some scary too！ Seven children who love stories listen to the tales told by their grandmother （ajji） and also told by others。 Their grandmother can spin tales on anything under the sun， however she insists that she will share only one story a day。 When the children demand more， she replies， " If you only eat laddus and pickles all day， will you be healthy？ Stories are like that。" Too much could be boring！！！ There This book is a compilation of many short stories， some funny， some adventurous and some scary too！ Seven children who love stories listen to the tales told by their grandmother （ajji） and also told by others。 Their grandmother can spin tales on anything under the sun， however she insists that she will share only one story a day。 When the children demand more， she replies， " If you only eat laddus and pickles all day， will you be healthy？ Stories are like that。" Too much could be boring！！！ There are twenty two stories in this book。 Each story is a different one， like about the bear who wanted to eat payasam， a poor woman who brilliantly tricked a thief， a princess who wanted new clothes everyday， a king who enjoyed listening to stories and refused to do his duties and many more interesting stories。 In my opinion， friends， if you love tales - this book is a must read。 Thoroughly enjoyable。 。。。more

This is a beautiful book for children who love to listen to the stories told by their grandparents。Reading this book I felt like I was sitting alongwith Anand，Krishna，Raghu and Meena listening to stories told by Ajji about whatever character one can imagine。It is an enjoyable read for children of all ages。So dive in， and join these kids in the wondrous land of stories。。。。。

I have read this book twice and yet if i read it now again， i feel something new in it。 I am a lover of sudha murthy and have read most of her books。 The book has a big horizon of views， different stories of wit and wisdom。 About the title， i would say that， grandma， the word itself is a synonym to stories in many cultures。 She has a wide range of stories of many types。 She never scolds us but tells stories with morals and we understand what she means。 At last i would say to each and every one w I have read this book twice and yet if i read it now again， i feel something new in it。 I am a lover of sudha murthy and have read most of her books。 The book has a big horizon of views， different stories of wit and wisdom。 About the title， i would say that， grandma， the word itself is a synonym to stories in many cultures。 She has a wide range of stories of many types。 She never scolds us but tells stories with morals and we understand what she means。 At last i would say to each and every one who is scrolling down to see whether this book is worth reading or not， my suggestion is do not waste a minute， its a must read。📖📖📚 。。。more
