About the Book:

• Ek Je Chilo Gram captures the essence of a small, unknown village tucked away in a dark corner of the vast world. The narrative takes us to a quiet, far-off field, where a humble thatched school, the teacher, and the students live in their own little world.

• The story paints a vivid picture of village life, with characters who are as simple and unique as the place they inhabit—Chitu, Ona, Lurka, Lewl, Jaga, Bura Mathur, Badna, and Satya Padi Kali, among others, along with their animal companions: horses, dogs, rats, and snakes.

• The book delves into the village's everyday life, its trees, fruits, and festivals—mangoes, guavas, palm trees, and the rituals of Durga and Bhadu puja.

• The village also comes alive with its folk performances like Yatra Pala, the shade of the Bakul tree by the Ram temple, the cool steps of the riverfront, and the creeks and ponds that define the landscape.

• Through the details of the school, the people, the festivals, and the natural surroundings, the book evokes nostalgia and offers a heartfelt portrayal of a way of life that is both rich in culture and simplicity.

This book will appeal to readers who enjoy tales that celebrate the beauty of rural life, its characters, and the traditions that shape it.
