Fiction
Satyajit Ray wrote thirty-five Feluda stories, most of which were extremely popular among Bengali children as well as adults.

Some of the stories were published in hard-cover editions, while some stories were published as a collection with other new stories. Some stories also appeared in the short story collections of Ray, which characteristically used to contain 12 short stories, including a few featuring Feluda.

Every year a new Feluda adventure appeared in the special Autumn edition or Durgapuja edition of the Bengali periodical - Desh, and also in Sandesh.

Lately, a series of Feluda collections have also been published, containing several stories in a single title. Most recently Feluda titles have been accumulated under Feluda Shamagra.

Following is a list of hard cover edition books with some details:

Feluda's books have also been translated into English and have been published by Penguin Books.

Apart from these a number of unfinished Feluda stories have also been published in various collection of stories of Satyajit Ray.

"Feluda-r Songe Kashite" is another work of Satyajit Ray. This is not really a Feluda story, but is of great interest to Feluda fans, as it gives a great account of the shooting of "Joy Baba Felunath" in Ray's unimitable prose.




Radio
The first Radio Adaptation of Feluda was made by Satyajit Ray himself and that was Baksho Rahsaya with his usual cast like Soumitra Chatterjee as Feluda, Santosh Dutta as Jatayu,Siddhartha Chatterjee as Topshe and Harindranath Chattopadhyay as Sidhu Jyatha along with other prominent actors like Haradhan Bandopadhyay, Biplab Chatterjee and Bikash Roy.
Akashabani had produced Darjeeling Jomjomat casting a set of regular actors in Radio.
In January, 2007, the BBC World Service announced that it would produce at least two 'episodes' of the popular detective stories. Bollywood star Rahul Bose speaks the leading role, with Anupam Kher voicing Lalmohan. The first episode, "The Golden Fortress", aired on February 10, 2007 with the second episode, "The Mystery of the Elephant God" following on August 11, 2007.
In 2007 Sandip Ray have rebooted the Radio Series with his own set of actors as Sabyasachi Chakraborty as Feluda, Paramabrata as Topshe and Bibhu Bhattacharya as Jatayu. He made two new dramas, Gosainpur Sorgorom and Dr. Munsi'r Diary. These two dramas along with Baksho Rahasya, directed by Satyajit Ray, aired together on Big FM.
