A random selection of interviews with author Premendra Mitra concerning Ghanada…
Visit this link for the oft-quoted interview in ‘Span’, 1974.
Interciewed by: Kinnar Roy
First Published in:
‘Kishore Jnan Bijnan’,
‘Bishesh Ghanada Shonkhya’ [Ghanada Special], June 1986
First featured in the book:
‘Brihat Ghanada Shankalan’ (1993)
The author incorrectly mentions 1928-29 as the year of Ghanada’s debut. In fact it was 1945.
Juvenile fiction in Bengali is dominated by the ‘Da’-s. Tenida, Pheluda, Wrijuda, Pindida….
Ghanashyam Das was among the first to popularise this trend.
Ghanada’s zany yarns were originally decorated with a set of uber-cool drawings complementing his persona.
Sadly, only a sprinkling is gettable at present.
This website, a companion to our Facebook Page ‘Ghanada‘, ventures to display the illustrious Ghanada illustrations.
And more… if you’re keen!
