Please note:
The book is organized in two unnumbered parts, which are: Dacoit Stories and Tiger Stories. The stories that are grouped in those two parts of the book are also unnumbered. In order to reflect the structure and intent of the book's author and their publisher, each story will be recorded in its own section and the audio book sections will be grouped and ordered as in the printed text. Further, each audio book section title will reflect the part of the book in which the story was grouped in the printed text. Thank you.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Just post in this thread.
if I shortened the filename!
