Malgudi Days is a collection of short stories by R.K. Narayan published in 1943 . I read this book when I 13 years old.Yes the book is very nicely written by R K Narayan. The description is given by R K Laxman, the greatest artist in India of those times. He has written this book in a way that you can not exactly frame the ending of the story by yourself. This makes you stick to the story until it gets over.
I have jotted down the names of the stories that I prefer the most,
"An Astrologer’s Day"
"The Missing Mail"
"The Doctor’s Word":
"Gateman’s Gift"
"The Blind Dog"
"Fellow Feeling"
"The Tiger’s Claw
"Iswaran"
These stories are among the best stories.
I was very happy when the T V Series of the stories came in the door darshan, I would always never miss the episodes that came in the sundays.
Shankar Nag, the director of the stories has very descriptively displayed the characters. I loved those Stories in the form of episodes too.
So I would request the People to watch the Episodes and read the book also.
