Selected Writings for Children (Oxford Tagore Translations Series)

Among the variety of verses in this collection, many of which are here translated for the first time, are delicate pieces originally written for an innovative Bengali textbook; delightful nonsense poetry and presentations of a child's desires and fantasies; and narrative and didactic poems as simple as they are sober. The book also contains a wealth of illustrations by Rabindranath himself, his circle and the members of the Santiniketan community.
