Once Upon a Moontime<br />

The Story of Shangmiyang<br />

Birendra Kumar Bhattacharyya<br />

Art by Suddhasattwa Basu<br />

A little book about the gentle, BIG giant who sneezed up a<br />

storm ... A visual delight for children, superbly illustrated by<br />

Suddhasattwa Basu.<br />

This story is excerpted and retold from Yaruingam, a novel<br />

by Birendra Kumar Bhattacharyya, eminent Asomiya writer<br />

and winner of several prestigious national awards like the<br />

Sahitya Akademi Award in 1961 and the Jnanpith Award in<br />

1979.<br />

Presented by Mamang Dai<br />

Art by Nimret Handa<br />

Two brothers create the world; a river wanders over the<br />

mountain; the dove sings a lullaby; a wayward sun tries<br />

to scorch the earth. Four delightful tales from Arunachal<br />

Pradesh on how the world came to be.<br />

Each page of the story has delightful and beautiful life-like illustrations<br />

which grab your attention and transport you to an era gone by. A magical<br />

world about which we had only imagined unfolds in front of our eyes as we<br />

read each story ...<br />

The clouds form her silken white robes. Her sweat and<br />

tears are the running water and rain. Her voice rings out<br />

in the sweet songs of the birds and humming insects. She<br />

is Nyanyi Myete of the lovely, ever-changing natural world,<br />

the glorious celestial aunt of the Kojum-Koja.<br />

A superb retelling of an age-old classic folk tale from<br />

Arunachal Pradesh.<br />
