Three fables by Bengal s most remarkable children s writer and artist. Adapted from The Wonderful Adventures of Nils by Nobel prize winning Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf, Booro Angla is an allegorical tale about a boy s adventures in a forest in British-occupied Bengal. Alor Phulki is an adaptation of the play Chantecler written by the French poet Edmond Rostand. It is a satire inspired by the barnyard animals in his home in the south of France. Khirer Putul is a charming fable that draws on the rich oral tradition of Bengal. An all-time favourite children s classic by Abanindranath Tagore, it is the story of the sugar doll and the two queens, and tells us how Duorani triumphs over her jealous co-wife with the help of her clever monkey-son.
