Abol Tabol by Sukumar Roy is easily India’s most famous book of nonsense rhymes. It has inspired generations of poets and authors and its pun-laden, hilarious poems have been recited and enjoyed by children across generations over the last century. The English translation by Sumantra Chattopadhyay is an endeavour to make the radiance of Sukumar Ray's poetry reach all, Bengalis and non-Bengalis alike. Each translated rhyme is accompanied with the original Bengali rhyme and Sukumar Ray's illustrations. Recently, Abol Tabol celebrated a hundred years of publication, and it is still sparkling brilliantly and unparalleled. Many poems in Abol Tabol contain skilfully hidden satire on the state of society and administration in early 20th-century colonial India, mostly Bengal. It is a book for children and grown-ups of all ages.
