Book review
Children love to hear stories – so do adults, particularly if they are funny.
Every time a story is retold it acquires a new colour and a new dimension. The grandmother who heard a story as a little girl from her grandmother will relish telling it to her grandchildren. A traveler from a distant land, who happens to hear a story during his journey, will later tell it to his own people, modifying it or adding little details to suit the change of place and context.
‘Baddu and Chhotu’ in this Special Issue retells one of the most popular folktales of Bengal. ‘Bikal the Terrible’ and ‘The Tiger Tamers’ are adapted from two popular tribal tales of Madhya Pradesh. ‘The Tiger Eater’ and ‘The Bear comes to Dinner’ are adapted from two popular folktales of Punjab.
