Translations
Ghana...SHAM ?

Others
The author mentions Malayalam & Gujarati translations.
These, and 'Ghanada Story', another English rendering, could not be traced.
The most recent translation is probably
Amlan Das Gupta's marvellous
'Mosquito and Other Stories' (2004, Penguin), covering twelve tales.
Two versions of the cover exist.
