Abo, a little boy, starts off for his aunt's house. On his way, he gets kidnapped by ghosts, surpasses many stories under their bewitchment, and at last, to his surprise, he ends up in a world completely upside down. Abo is a land of erratic drifting, a wonderful tale of a grand journey aimed towards delving into vivid imagination, possessed by words.
Abanindranath Tagore, a towering figure in the Bengal School of Art, was also a pioneer in writing for children. His stories combine imagination, humor, gentlness; creating worlds where young readers can explore, dream, and wonder what if! Tagore's children's writing often blends fantasy with everyday life, using playful language and whimsical characters to spark curiosity and creativity. His works speak for the world where literature is not only for feeding the mind but also the heart.
