Timeless Tales: Children's Stories from Bengali
by Ayushmita Kundu
Timeless Tales is a collection of Children's Stories from Bengal and Bangladesh, written by some of the best Bengali writers, and translated by Ayushmita Kundu. In this collection of 23 stories, the readers, along with children can dive into the world of joy, wit and fantasy with the added comfort and fun of the storytelling.
The collection has stories of some well-known authors like Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Abanindranath Tagore, Sukumar Ray and Gaganendranath Tagore amongst other authors and it was fascinating to read stories from the authors who are not much mentioned and discussed. And thus, this book comes as a breath of fresh air with charming and engaging stories.
Most of the stories are very short in length and could be easily used to read in between any chores and work, or maybe at bedtime, and can be a source of fun and vibrant moments. Many stories in the collection may originate from folktales, because even though I have not read Bengali children's stories earlier, I could feel that I have heard some other version of them at some places or others, and it makes it more interesting. The stories are beautifully complemented with illustrations.
I enjoyed reading most of the stories, and these stories are a delight not only for children but for grown-ups as well. If you are someone who is looking forward to some short stories for children or yourself for some light, fun, and engaging stories, this one will serve you perfectly.
