- Description: कथाकार चन्दन यादव का यह पहला संग्रह है। उनकी भाषा का चुटीलापन, दोटूकपन कहानी को अतिरिक्त आभा देता है। उनकी कहानियों में पाठ का एक न एक तलघर महसूस होता रहता है। जहाँ कहानी के भीतर एक और कहानी नींव की तरह चलती रहती है। पाठक को आवाजाही का सुख मिलता है। ये कहानियाँ हिन्दी में कहानी का एक नया रास्ता बनाती हैं। इन कहानियों को चित्रकार अमृता ने बहुत अपनेपन से बनाया है। इन कहानियों के उन्होंने खासतौर पर किरदार रचे हैं। ऊँट कहानी का ऊँट है, बिल्ली कहानी की बिल्ली है। इस तरह कहानी के सच को दुनियावी सच से बड़ा दिखाया है। एक जगह ऊँट का बयान है कि करनवीर ने चिल्ला-चिल्लाकर आसमान सिर पर उठा लिया है। इस बयान को चित्रकार ने मुहावरे की गिरवी से छुड़ाया है। चित्र में ऊँट पर बैठे बच्चे के फैले हाथ सचमुच आसमान उठाए दिखते हैं।
