Father's Day Special
I consider this  story  a gift from a friend I spoke to after ages.  We go back to the late 1980s when we did our graduation at Allahabad University. This story comes from her childhood collection of Russian books which she and her brother received as a gift from their parents when she was in the fifth grade in Ranchi. It carries memories of happy childhood days when her parents used to read the siblings so many stories.  This book is a particular favourite as it is sprinkled with memories of  so much laughter and fun.
Alexander Raskin's 'When Daddy Was A Little Boy', translated from Russian by Fainna Glagoleva, is a bagful of stories about his own childhood which the author narrates to his little daughter. I found the author's note for his little readers so hard to skip that I am sharing it here with you all.
A Happy Father's Day to All the Superdads Out There!
