Madras Rediscovered: A Historical Guide to Looking Around Supplemented with Tales of Once Upon a City is a book on the history of Chennai (previously known as Madras) authored by Chennai historian S. Muthiah.
A Tamil translation of the book Chennai Marukandupidippu by C. V. Karthik Narayan was published in 2009.
The first edition titled Madras Discovered was published in 1981 by East-West Books.
Journalist Bishwanath Ghosh considers Muthiah's Madras Rediscovered, the "last word on the city's heritage".
[2] This collection of writings on Chennai is steeped in history, meticulously researched but somewhat tediously written.
