Hector Hugh Munro is known by his pen name Saki. He was a British writer who is famous for his sharp wit, dark humor, and mastery of the short stories. Saki's writing often features mischievous characters and clever twists. His stories, like "The Lumber Room" and "The Open Window," are celebrated for their irony and unexpected endings. 
Nicholas, a clever and mischievous young boy, is punished by his aunt for refusing to eat his bread-and-milk breakfast, claiming there’s a frog in it. While his cousins are taken to the beach at Jagborough as a treat, Nicholas is left behind to stay at home. His aunt, keen on teaching him a lesson, forbids him from entering the gooseberry garden. But Nicholas, always resourceful, seems less interested in the garden and more in a hidden and forbidden lumber room, a mysterious place where no child is allowed to enter. What could be waiting for Nicholas in this secret room? Will he face any danger or perhaps, cause some for others? Follow Nicholas' cleverness and wit in this delightful and unpredictable tale.

I recently downloaded this app, and now my kids no longer pester me at night to tell them a story. My eldest daughter reads independently, and the younger ones listen to her.

Zarnish Ali, Parent

I started using the AlifLaila app for my niece, and honestly, I’ve had a great experience. She was already interested in stories, and now her interest has grown even more.

Nimra Iqbal, Aunt

I got this app for my son. Since I wanted to instill the love of reading in him and I wanted to register for some library, unfortunately, we don’t have any libraries in our city. Then I came across your digital library. That was very affordable and saved the hassle of travel.

Hina Umer, Parent

We recently moved out of Pakistan, and for the past few months, my son has been telling me how much he misses his grandmother, who used to tell him bedtime stories. I am not great at storytelling so when my sister-in-law mentioned an app that her kids in Pakistan were enjoying I decided to try it out. Now, my son is thrilled to hear new stories from me every day and those complaints have disappeared. Thank you AlifLaila for bringing happiness back to our bedtime route in, even miles away from.
