Tales From Firozsha Baag is a collection of 11 short stories by Rohinton Mistry about the residents of Firozsha Baag, a Parsi-dominated apartment complex in Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Mistry's first book, it was published by Penguin Canada in 1987.[1] Although all the stories deal with the same location, many were written without the aim of being collected in the same volume.
