Author
Who trapped the mouse first, on celluloid ? Premendra Mitra
The creator of Bengal's best armchair adventurer Ghanada.
This is how the all-rounder author described our lanky legend :
"Ghana-da is a teller of tall tales,
but the tales always have a scientific basis."
... and here's his self-assessment :
"scientifically inclined by birth, poet by accident, story-teller by profession".
Also a job-hopper by choice.
A rainbow of quaint qualities that helped the restless writer fashion his unique alter ego.
Premendra Mitra's
still remains one of the sole faithful screen adaptations of Christie's classic 'The Mousetrap'
Artist : Uday Deb
