Anand Banerjee

About

Based in Mumbai, India, Anand Banerjee is an entrepreneur by profession, but his passion is writing. With years of efforts in trying to eke time out from his professional commitments, Anand has beautifully crafted these 13 stories. Each story emanates from his personal experiences, and childhood memories of eerie stories narrated to him by his maternal grandmother. It took him more than a decade and a half to put together this delectable yet spine-chilling tales. The idea was to keep the stories short so that you may enjoy reading them while youā€™re travelling or waiting around and want to immerse yourself into an imaginary world that can albeit momentarily, prove to be a healthy distraction from the mundane.

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br />Ā This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvationĀ and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit theĀ kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home.Ā </p>
