literally one of my favourite books ever. what a collection of poems and short stories! absolutely beautiful. so honoured, proud and lucky to have had this as a part of my curriculum. this book is love.
i read (studied) this collection of 10 stories and 10 poems over the course of 2 years (9th and 10th grade)
i managed to score a 97 in my class 10th literature paper as well as in the language paper which held up my reputation as a bibliophile and for that im very glad and i will definitely miss these stories and characters late nights in the middle of January
(because my pre boards were going on at that time and i made it a habit to read 1 story and 1 poem before going to sleep as Ekta ma'am recommend re reading the text multiple times to remember the small points which would help us score a 16/16 in the mcqs so yeah)
This was my academic book I had to read it as it was in my school course but I had to say that this book was really a collection of some remarkable poems and short stories of some famous authors like william wordsworth, Roald Dahl, sarojini naidu , ruskin bond , james Patrick Kinney and many more .
