The Snake And The Frogs/Shaap O Byangera (English-Bengali)

Author : Mariam Karim Ahlawat
Illustrator : Nancy Raj

The old snake is punished – the frogs will now ride on him. The frogs jump for joy – but they had better watch out! This unusual bilingual retelling of a Panchatantra favourite swings sympathy in favour of the snake. Stunning pictures are based on wooden folk toys from Channapatna in Karnataka, a craft style that came centuries ago from Persia.
