A daydreamer, an innocent fool, a simpleton, a fakir. Sheikh Chilli was all this and more. So whether it was believing that a watermelon was a horse's egg dreaming that he was a mouse and was being chased all over the village by a cat or tricking the miserly kazi into paying him a year's salary, Sheikh Chilli's sometimes foolish and often laughable antics have made him a favourite with generations of children. This collection of twenty tales contains all the fun and wisdom that make the stories of Sheikh Chilli so widely read and well loved.
