Juvenile fiction in Bengali is dominated by the ‘Da’-s. Tenida, Pheluda, Wrijuda, Pindida….

 

Ghanashyam Das was among the first to popularise this trend.

 

Ghanada’s zany yarns were originally decorated with a set of uber-cool drawings complementing his persona.

Sadly, only a sprinkling is gettable at present.

 

This website, a companion to our Facebook Page 'Ghanada Gallery', ventures to display the illustrious Ghanada illustrations. 

 

And more… if you’re keen !
