Item description from seller

Literature for children is a distinctive achievement of the Bengali language. In it, we get numerous illustrations of primers that are meant to initiate reading and writing among children, poems and nursery rhymes, fables and fairytales, prose pieces and stories, plays and novels - all of which are unique in their style and content, exceptional in their taste and flavour.
