Dive into “রানি-কন্যে কথা”, a groundbreaking Bengali collection by শতাব্দী দাশ that reimagines Bengal’s classic folklore with powerful and resilient female protagonists. Witness queens carving their own destinies, princesses embracing wisdom, and heroines reshaping history. This is storytelling like never before—bold, inspiring, and rooted in Bengal’s rich cultural heritage.
A Kolkata-based story-teller. Is professionally entrusted to help in the learning of the pupils, but is more akin to aid in their unlearning. A Disrupter. Unsettles things for six days a week and recreates them on the day seventh. The same has been done here with the renowned Bengali folklore. This is how fairy tales read when retold by the granddaughter of ancient witches.
A translator bringing her first translated work to life with a wish for happily-ever-afters all around! She is based in Kolkata and has an English literature degree. Nadia aspires to change the world, one word at a time. She dreams of closing cultural divides through translation so that every tale she touches has a chance to connect, uplift, and leave readers a little more hopeful.
A student of first literature, and then film from Jadavpur University, Paramita Brahmachari comes pre-addicted to all the good books and visuals. Despite having only a doctorate in Film Studies, and no training at all in graphics, she has been making covers since 2016, mostly as an excuse for reading yet more books, and imagining how stories unfurl in lines and colours.
She has won the Oxford Bookstore and the Publishing Next awards for cover design, but this is her first time ever illustrating for children.
