SUBHADRA SEN GUPTA Subhadra writes both fiction and non-fiction for adults and children, mainly on the subject of history, travel and on Indian culture and mythology. She also works as a freelance editor. Subhadra specialises in historical fiction and to the dismay of her young readers has also written history textbooks. The periods she enjoys writing about the most are the Mauryan, Vijayanagar, Mughal periods and the time of India’s freedom struggle. However her stories are less about kings and battles and more about the lives of ordinary people and there are many exciting mysteries, horse chases, miniature painters, temple dancers, bumbling detectives and delicious food. She regularly keeps in touch with children and teachers through workshops and has also written a book with the chaotic participation of the students of Vasant Valley School, Delhi. Subhadra’s books have been published by - Rupa, Scholastic, HarperCollins, Puffin, India Book House, Pratham Books and RatnaSagar. Right now she and the illustrator Tapas Guha are doing a comic strip based on the Feluda stories by Satyajit Ray for the Telegraph, Kolkata. She edited the biography series titled Charitavali published by Rupa. Over fifty titles were published. Subhadra lives in Delhi but would one day like to build a cottage by the sea in Mahabalipuram. |
