I bought this as a gift for my nephew and ended up reading it before giving it to him. Completely worth it. The humour, the heart, the adventure — it has everything. Sudha Murty clearly understands what makes a story not just entertaining but genuinely memorable. My nephew loved it too, for the record.
Ordered this one from Crossword's website and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. The book pages on crosswordbookstores.com are detailed and well laid out — easy to browse, good descriptions, helpful reader reviews. Checkout was quick and payment options are solid. Got my copy in two days, perfectly packaged. The book itself is wonderful and I'll definitely be back for more. Really happy with the experience.
This is the kind of story that reminds you why you fell in love with reading in the first place. Sudha Murty's writing is vivid and effortless — the world feels completely lived-in, the stakes feel real, and every chapter ends with you desperately needing to know what happens next. A genuine five-star experience.
I had been eyeing this one for a while and finally picked it up — honestly, it was worth every bit of the wait. The world-building is extraordinary. From the very first chapter I was completely transported, and by the end I had lost track of time entirely. Sudha Murty has created something genuinely magical here. If you love fantasy, just get it.
What strikes me most about The Magic Drum and Other Favourite Stories is how it balances the big epic elements with the small human moments. Sudha Murty never loses sight of the characters even when the plot is moving at full speed. The result is a book that is both thrilling and emotionally satisfying. One of my favourite reads in recent memory.
