Stories for Children by Premchand

The present anthology prepared by Hari Krishna Devsare in original Hindi, brings together some of the most popular stories of Premchand written for children and young readers - the stories which have enthralled the generations of readers. In the Preface to the present anthology, the compiler has noted that Premchand believed that 'A child should primarily be given such education that he can protect himself on his own in life. Children should have so much of good sense that they can see the pros and cons of every action with the intuitive eyes of their mind.' Through these stories one may say that Premchand tried to awaken the spirit of leadership, courage, independent thinking, self expression and protection of the self, among children. Some stories in this collection, like Gulli Danda, Kajaki, Nadan Dost and so on, are the instinctive expressions of a child's mind apart from showcasing the natural actions and sports of children, and their habits.
