আবোল তাবোল কবিতা - গল্প বলা কবি - সুকুমার রায় কণ্ঠ – বিদিশা ও সাত্যকি Sukumar Ray ( 30 October 1887 – 10 September 1923) was a Bengali writer and poet. He is remembered mainly for his writings for children. He was the son of children's story writer Upendrakishore Ray Bengali readers were exposed to a new nonsense fantasy world by the poems in Abol Tabol. This selection offers the best of Sukumar Ray's world of pun-riddled poetry. Although it was not understood at the time of its publication, many poems in Abol Tabol contain skilfully hidden satire on the state of society and administration of early 20th-century colonial India - mostly Bengal. Embedding implied hidden meanings of a subversive nature in nonsense rhymes for children, was Ray's clever way of subverting press censorship by the then British administration in India, which was paranoid about seditious and subversive literature.
