The book throws open the rich world of Bihari literature which has its own humble existence to the English speaking literary enthusiasts. Abhay K. who himself hails from Nalanda, once a world renowned seat of learning, has undertaken a mammoth task in compiling this rich medley of flavours of Bihari languages. The book represents some literary gems as old as 600 BCE to present day. Certainly, it's worth a read. Chaitali P.
