The stories are little gems. Resonate with the stories of the kathasaritasagar. Folk tales with similar motifs..

Can you please tell us more about Shovona (beautiful name) Tagore....google is not helping much.

She appears to be the niece of Rabindranath Tagore whom she refers to as 'uncle' in the Preface of the book.

This book seems to have been reproduced and is available at amazon and crossword.... Thanks for getting us to read for free.
