Abstract
This review article discusses the book Fantasy Fictions from the Bengal Renaissance: Abanindranath Tagore, The Make-Believe Prince – Gaganendranath Tagore, Toddy-Cat the Bold, translated and annotated by Sanjay Sincar (2018). The author of the paper situates the Tagore brothers’ stories in the context of Indian folklore and literary traditions, highlighting Sircar’s research skills as expressed in his meticulous commentaries and analytical thoroughness. She also notes that the work combines translation with comparative studies and elaborates on these issues in a detailed discussion of the monograph’s contents. In her opinion, the reviewed book confirms the validity of the study of vernacular works for children and may provide an impetus for further research focused on Indian works beyond the traditional literary canon.
