Mahasweta Devi

Not many outside Bengal know about Mahasweta Devi – activist, political writer, chronicler of the oppressed – as a delightful children’s writer. With deep regret at her passing, we pay respect to her timeless legacy by highlighting the two classics by her that we were privileged to publish. “I want to reach as many people as possible,” she’d once said – we hope that the nine language editions of these books will go some way in reaching her to many, many children.
