Ten stories linked by India and the struggle between humans and creatures, frequently tigers. My favourites (including the title story) have Indian children and village life at their heart, so we see and feel the patterns of their lives while being absorbed by the dramas of the plots. This is high-quality storytelling, mixing both detail and simplicity.
