These adventures had not only given us the only full-fledged Bengali detective since Byomkesh Bakshi, but had also given us our very own Sherlock Holmes (Feluda is as closely modelled on Sherlock Holmes as is possible, and yet a lot more easily accessible for us). The adventures are brilliant and compact pieces of mystery-solving, but it is the combination of Feluda-Topshe and Jatayu that had caught our imagination, and has kept us in its grip even after the demise of the creator. But once again, ANANDA has not provided us with any additional information or annotation that could have enhanced the importance of this edition. Otherwise, recommended.
