“Book Descriptions: This is a compilation of 40 short stories by new writers. They were selected from stories contributed by almost 650 writers for a short story- writing competition (Urdu Kahani Muqabla) arranged by Oxford University Press Pakistan. Those who took part in the competition hailed not just from Pakistan but from all countries where Urdu speakers and readers are present. There is great variety of theme in these stories, and the collection can be a useful and interesting item in school libraries for students of Urdu.” DRIVE
