About the Author

Anant Pai, affectionately known as Uncle Pai, was a pioneering figure in Indian children's literature. Born on September 17, 1929, in Karkala, Karnataka, Pai was an educationalist and the creative force behind two iconic comic book series:

  • Amar Chitra Katha (1967): A series that retold traditional Indian folk tales, mythological stories, and biographies of historical figures.

  • Tinkle (1980): A children's anthology featuring a mix of short stories, comics, and educational content, which became immensely popular among young readers.

Pai's work has left an indelible mark on Indian children's literature, with his creations continuing to inspire and entertain generations. He passed away on February 24, 2011, but remains a beloved figure in the realm of children's storytelling.
