A to Z Stories Volume 1 & 2 in a Box Set Written by Sukanya Datta A for authentic science. B for brilliant story-telling. C for catchy themes that captivate the readers. All these and more come together when Golu Mamu sets an apparently impossible target: to take an unprecedented literary walk through the English alphabet, using each letter to capitalize on a scientific concept and spin some of his most riveting tall-tales. Thus, the stories straddle outer space, dive into deep-sea hydrothermal vents, explore volcanoes, and enter cyclonic circulations. There is even an Egyptian mummy that is taught to talk, attempted murder and yes, the quest for gold. Each story perches on the cusp of the almost-possible, leaving readers marveling at the sheer dramatic potential of science given the spin of imagination.
