Kishor Upanyas Samagra 1 by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay enjoys immense popularity in children's literature, having created a completely unique world for young readers. This whimsical world, filled with humor, introduces us to fascinating characters. In his own words—"Ghosts, eccentric and quirky people, fools, vagabonds, clever and silly characters, officers of all sizes, and even kings and elephants all find their way into my stories." But that's not all. His juvenile novels also feature tantriks, crazy people, gluttons, misers, and forgetful characters, each contributing to the fun with their bizarre antics. These adventures, along with the thrill of mystery and suspense, captivate young readers, keeping them glued to the pages. Though ghosts frequently appear in Shirshendu's works, they are never terrifying; rather, they extend a hand of friendship and help those in danger.

The first volume of Kishore Upanyas Samagra (Complete Novels for Young Readers) includes titles like Monojder Adbhut Bari (The Strange House of Manoj and Friends), Gosaibaganer Bhoot (The Ghost of Gosai Bagan), Hetomgarher Guptodhon (The Hidden Treasure of Hetomgarh), Nrisingho Rohoshyo (The Mystery of Nrisingho), Boxer Roton (Boxer Ratan), Bhuture Ghori (The Haunted Clock), Gourer Koboch (Gour’s Armor), Hirer Angti (The Diamond Ring), Pagla Saheber Kobor (The Grave of Pagla Saheb), and Harano Kakatuya (The Lost Cockatoo). These novels shine brightly in Bengali children's literature, filled with humor, mystery, and a sense of well-being.
