| Synopsis: |
In this volume Mahasweta Devi reveals a fresh new face to those who know her only from her hard-hitting socially committed writing - as a writer of delightfully whimsical and funny children's stories. This is a side of her personality that young readers in Bengal have enjoyed and savoured for over thirty years. This volume consists of ten favourite stories, selected by the author, from Sandesh, a popular children's magazine closely identified with the family of the renowned film-maker Satyajit Ray, who edited and illustrated it for years. These irresistible stories abound with unlikely and colourful characters: a vehemently non-vegetarian cow, the household pet, who wolfs down fried fish and gets drunk on local spirits; an irrepressible prankster of a brother who gets himself and everyone else into trouble with his mischievous tricks; a father who thinks nothing of filling the entire house with hens and chickens whilst on an economy drive, and a teeming assortment of others, like Chittu, the little creature who changes into a pebble or mongoose at will.Though aimed at young readers, these rib-tickling tales have a heart-warming humour likely to remind everyone of the crazier members of their own families. |
