About the Book
Khirer Putul by Abanindranath Tagore (Translated by Angshuman Kar)
A timeless jewel of Bengali children’s literature, Khirer Putul (The Sugar Doll) by Abanindranath Tagore has enchanted generations of young readers since its first publication in 1896. Set in a whimsical world of kings, queens, monkeys, and goddesses, this tale follows a clever monkey’s ingenious tricks to outwit a powerful king and Goddess Shashthi in order to restore justice and dignity to the wronged elder queen.
Written during a formative era of Bengali children’s storytelling, Khirer Putul blends folklore with gentle satire and moral insight. Abanindranath’s storytelling sparkles with imagination and charm, making it a perennial favorite in Bengali households. Now, with Angshuman Kar’s elegant translation, this beloved classic is accessible to a new generation of non-Bengali readers—faithfully preserving the spirit, rhythm, and playful brilliance of the original.
This edition opens a window into the cultural richness of Bengal while offering a universally resonant tale of wit, loyalty, and poetic justice.
