Description
'If you hear this, you will find your heads are getting muddled. Some of you will fathom fully, some will stay befuddled' The Bengali language has never been quite such a living, breathing creature of whimsy as in Sukumar Ray's hands, and his creations-wild and wicked, dreamy and delirious-have thrilled children and adults alike. T his selection offers you the best of his world-pun-riddled, fun-fiddled poetry from Abol Tabol and Khai-Khai , stories of schoolboy pranks ( Pagla Dashu ) and show more madcap explorers ( Heshoram Hushiyarer Diary ), and the unforgettable harum-scarum classic of Haw-Jaw-Baw-Raw-Law , presented here for the first time in its entirety. All the stories and poems are accompanied by Sukumar Ray's inimitable illustrations. Sampurna Chattarji's vibrant translation captures the freewheeling play of sound and sense we associate with Ray's writings. With an introduction by Ruskin Bond, this book is sure to captivate Sukumar Ray's fans and win him a whole new generation of admirers. show lessTags
