Short & Shorter Stories is a quick, fun read with stories that will make you laugh, think, and inspire, while some will kindle your imagination.

The stories have been penned by Luis Fernandes, former editor (2007-11) of Tinkle comics. He is also the author of several Amar Chitra Katha titles and an offbeat children’s book, The Guest Who Came to Dinner published by Ratna Sagar in 1995. The illustrations are done by veteran artist Gautam Sen.
