{"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\n\u003cbr\u003ea 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\n\u003cbr\u003eTwo-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":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058495803630,"sku":"9780199486755","price":46.23,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199486755.jpg?v=1736476906","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/fantasy-fictions-from-the-bengal-renaissance","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
