Where Angels Sell Eggs
And Other Stories
(see below for contents)
by N. S. Phadke

A hard to find vintage paperback book from 1957


About this book: Excerpt (dust jacket): “Prof. Phadke has already established himself among the first-rate story-writers of India. Many of his works have been exquisitely translated into foreign languages. And the present volume is a collection of eighteen of his short-stories that does him fullest credit.

“These very pleasant , well-written stories touch upon a variety of realistic themes, and they appeal unmistakably to the reader’s sentiment and emotion… Man is not too good to be deemed an angel, nor is he too bad to be branded a devil – let there be no mistaking about it – these stories succinctly tell us.

“As we read them, we witness, as on a silver screen, life with its varied fears and joys and man marching under light and shade, his nature remaining essentially the same as of old.”
