The short stories in this book span different genres from sagas to comedy to horror. Set in different time frames in both urban and rural settings, it makes for a combination of sorts. The author, having experienced an amalgam of cultures, has fashioned a potpourri, infusing the mystical east into the discriminative west. Prevailing social concerns and common Indian traditions have been played out to question the readers views and will empower them to adopt a new mirror for reflection of outdated societal values and ways. Women play the lead role in few stories, indicating the authors strong need to highlight issues uniquely known only to women. An occasional international backdrop emphasizes the coziness of our global village and shrinking boundaries. Humor sprinkled generously as a tasty topping ensures the reader of a perpetual smile.

Book Description
'The Guerilla Chief, and Other Tales' is a novel written by Mayne Reid. The story begins as the narrator is describing the aftermath of the Battle of Cerro Gordo, which was fought between the American and Mexican armies in April 1847. The defeated Mexican army, led by Santa Anna, had fled and escaped into the wilderness, with Santa Anna at the head of the retreat. He laments that they had the opportunity to capture Santa Anna, but due to the cowardice of their superior officer, they were not allowed to do so and missed the chance to gain fame and bring justice to Mexico.
