Description
This warm, evocative memoir offers a young student’s intimate glimpse into life at Rabindranath Tagore’s experimental school in Shantiniketan. With affection and gentle humor, it recalls the Ashram’s open-air learning, vibrant community, and the formative relationships between students, teachers, and the many remarkable figures who passed through its gates. Alongside portraits of beloved mentors and fellow residents—including cultural icons who later shaped modern India—the narrative explores education, creativity, friendship, and the lasting influence of place. Fresh, accessible, and rich in atmosphere, this first English translation preserves the innocence and wonder of a childhood spent in an extraordinary intellectual and artistic world.
