<b>Timeless stories for boys, and those who remain boys at heart.</b><br> Pick up an alien's egg; go crocodile hunting; run with a gang of pickpockets; get lost in a magical maze. All this and more in these stories of adventure, humour and imagination.<br> Oliver Twist leaves behind his gang of criminals for a better life; an open window is just what a fertile mind needs in Saki's 'The Open Window'; Satyajit Ray's Badan Babu has a brush with a Pterodactyl's egg; Rabindranath Tagore recollects boyhood days spent dreaming in an abandoned palanquin; and Sherlock Holmes sets off to solve the mystery of the engineer's thumb.<br> Featuring the works of such renowned authors as Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, Premchand, Mark Twain and others, and a lively introduction by well-known children's author Paro Anand, The Puffin Book of Classic Stories for Boys is a matchless collection from the masters of world literature for boys of all ages.
