"Mystic Moods is a myriad collection of short stories evolving out of the mystique pen of Rabindranath Tagore. Through a very mystifying yet magnificient analysis of situations and characters, Tagore has created universal narratives which remain alive forever. The sublimity with which he depicts human emotions, the desire to know the unknown and the fierce spirit of independence which breaks open all kinds of fetters, both social and psychological, perhaps remain unparalled in literature. A certain distinctive mood personifies each of these ten short stories, giving them a quaint flavour. This is what makes this collection Mystic Moods."
