Habu Bhuiyamalir Putul by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay is a delightful children's novel filled with humor, magical adventures, and social satire. The story revolves around Habu Bhuiya, a simple, naïve villager who unexpectedly comes into possession of a magical doll. This doll has the ability to grant any wish, making it a powerful and intriguing object in the story.

As Habu navigates life with this new-found magical power, the story explores themes of human greed, simplicity, and the unpredictable consequences of having too much power. Habu, being somewhat foolish, often misuses the doll, leading to a series of comical yet insightful incidents. The tale combines fantasy with a subtle critique of human nature and society, characteristic of Mukhopadhyay’s style.

The novel engages readers, particularly children, through its whimsical elements while simultaneously offering a deeper reflection on human desires, values, and the complexities of life.
