Selected writings for children [rare books]

This book offers readers a rich insight into one of the most attractive yet least explored aspects of Rabindranath's life and imagination. As a writer for children, he appears comical, whimsical, tender, serious. Among the variety of verses to be found here are delicate pieces originally written for an innovative Bengali textbook; delightful nonsense poetry and presentations of a child's desires and fantasies. Verses appear alongside short plays and sketches, short stories, chatty tales, and the fantastic world of 'That Man'.
