Description
Abridged and simplified, this book for children is a shorter version of Gandhiji's original The Story of My Experiments with Truth.
In this reprint of the book, Grammar Exercises framed by Dr. C.N. Zutshi have been omitted as they had been framed according to syllabuses which have been greatly changed now-a days. Topics for essays and discussions have been placed chapter wise at the end of the book.
This book was originally prepared for use in our schools. The publisher is happy to note that, owing to recent resurgence of interest in Gandhiji, this book has been prescribed as one of the text-books for certain general knowledge examinations by some voluntary educational organizations. Hence it is expected that this reprint will have a wider area of utility than the one that was originally intended for it.
