{"product_id":"fantasy-fictions-from-the-bengal-renaissance","title":"Fantasy Fictions from the Bengal Renaissance","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Fantasy Fictions from the Bengal Renaissance' presents two masterpieces of Bengali literature by Rabindranath Tagore's nephews, Abanindranath Tagore and Gaganendranath Tagore. 'The Make-Believe Prince' is the delightful story of a king, his two wives, a trickster monkey, a witch, and a helper from another world who is not a 'fairy godmother'. Abanindranath deploys traditional children's rhymes and paints exquisite word-pictures in his unusual original rendering of a tale which has its origins in Bengali folktale materials in various genres. 'Toddy-Cat the Bold' sees a group of brave comrades seek help from a young boy to rescue the son of their leader from the Two-Faced Rakshasa of the forest, and has another, more numinous helper. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice books, it presents a comic, exciting, and mysterious journey quite unlike Carroll's, with many traditional local touches and an unexpected ending.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABANINDRANATH TAGORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43643219181629,"sku":"9780199486755","price":52.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780199486755.jpg?v=1789682777","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/fantasy-fictions-from-the-bengal-renaissance","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
