This book is one of the few books by Bibhutibhusan written for young readers, yet gives excellent joy for all level of readers. Though it is written as detective story, like other books it has not overlooked the natural beauty. And here is the exceptions of Bibhutibhusan proven.
Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay (Bangla: 唳唳唳む唳唳粪Γ 唳Θ唰嵿Ζ唰嵿Ο唰嬥Κ唳距Η唰嵿Ο唳距Ο唳�) was an Indian Bangali author and one of the leading writers of modern Bangla literature. His best known work is the autobiographical novel, Pather Panchali: Song of the Road which was later adapted (along with Aparajito, the sequel) into the Apu Trilogy films, directed by Satyajit Ray.
The 1951 Rabindra Puraskar, the most prestigious literary award in the West Bengal state of India, was posthumously awarded to Bibhutibhushan for his novel 唳囙唳距Ξ唳む.
Not good enough. His other novel (The Mountain of Moon) was one of the greatest adventure novels ever written in the Bangla literature. But, this one was a huge let down. It was all dialogues, lame one way guess driven assumptions, and a bad ending. I mean really bad ending.
Its a wonder I give it a two stars. As a detective story it is not good enough.
