Manojder Adbhut Bari by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

"If you hear someone saying, 'Tati Ratatashi Gama Honduras,' and when you ask for its meaning, they respond with 'Gimme Gorgori Kerosene Bomb' or 'Gamoshi Gadadhar Bhagvash Fungkasun,' I don’t know what others will think of them, but quite a few readers will immediately recognize who they are. For this language is spoken by none other than King Govind Narayan. Why does King Govind Narayan speak in such a peculiar manner? Where exactly is Manohar's strange house? Whose picture is that of the unfamiliar boy in the house? How did Detective Bardacharan’s lost pistol end up in Bhajbabu's hands? How did a missing prince become the chief of a gang of robbers? To find the answers to these questions, you must read Shirsendu Mukhopadhyay’s delightful adolescent novel 'Manohar’s Strange House.' Blending humor with fun, fun with adventure, and adventure with suspense, the powerful contemporary author Shirsendu Mukhopadhyay has gifted us with an extraordinary novel of a new flavor for young readers."
