Description:

Tucked into the misty hills of the Western Ghats, Coorg (Kodagu) is home to a proud and distinctive community with a culture all its own. In this warm, witty collection, C.P. Belliappa—a Coorg native and coffee planter—invites readers to discover his homeland through a treasury of stories, anecdotes, and folklore. From historical curiosities and forgotten legends to the comings and goings of forest creatures, farmyard companions, and unforgettable local characters, each yarn is spun with affection and a generous dose of humour.

Closing with a series of personal recollections drawn from the author's own life, this is far more than a tourist's view of coffee estates and rain. It's an insider's portrait of Coorg's people, history, and traditions—an easy, delightful read and the perfect companion for anyone curious about this enchanting corner of India.
