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 original rendering of a tale which has its roots 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. Here, a more numinous supernatural helper appears. 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 UP","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44951986602135,"sku":"9780199486755","price":697.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199486755.webp?v=1769200558","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fantasy-fictions-from-the-bengal-renaissance-abanindranath-tagore-s-the-make-believe-prince","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
