Mr. Mukerji's Ghosts


Book Description

MR. MUKERJI'S GHOSTS - CLASSIC GHOST STORIES WITH THE SPICE OF THE SUBCONTINENT Mr S. Mukerji works very diligently in an office. It is not very interesting work, but Mr Mukerji has another far more diverting interest. He is an expert in ghosts and stories of ghosts. It is the height of the British Raj and Mr Mukerji is in an ideal position to discover stories about the 'sahibs' of India as he is about the Indians themselves. Mr Mukerji has (extraordinarily) a foot not just in two worlds - but in three - he is intimate with the 'other side' too. Here are tales of hauntings to amuse, puzzle and (mildly) chill the blood. Anyone who is enchanted by Kipling will enjoy Mr Mukerji's penmanship - supernatural tales from an Indian perspective from places as haunted as old English castles ever were.
