Folk-Tales Of Bengal

- The author of this book has collected folk-tales of Bengal from a good story teller, who is an old lady. Then from a barber, old servant and old Brahman which he has compiled into this book. They all tell the stories in Bengali. He translated them into English. He feels that the stories given in this book are a genuine sample of the old stories narrated by old woman from age to age through a hundred generations. This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic works that have stood the test of time and to make it in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them. The 32 illustrations are good and eye-catching which he has preserved from oblivion. He put the pictures sequentially with the text to set a relation with one and other. The subject of the book is interesting and delicate. Though the book is a rare one, it may be recognized even by those who dissent from the author’s views.
