Tagore wrote Shey to satisfy his nine year old granddaughter’s demands for stories. Even as Tagre began to create his fantasy, he planned a story that had no end, and to keep the tales spinning he employed the help of ‘Shey’, a “man constituted entirely of words” and rather talented at concoting tall tales. So we enter the world of Shey’s extraordinary adventures, encountering a bizarre cast of characters, grotesque creatures and caricatures of contemporary figures and events as well as mythological heroes and deities – all brought to life through a sparkling play of words and illustrations in Tagore’s unique style.

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was an Indian poet, philosopher, and polymath. Tagore’s rise to prominence came with the publication of his collection of poems titled Gitanjali (Song Offerings) in 1910, which also earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. He was the first non-European laureate to win the award. Over the years, Tagore wrote many novels, short stories, essays, and plays that explored a wide range of themes, such as love, nature, and social issues. He was also a social reformer, advocating for women’s rights, education, and the upliftment of the marginalized sections of society.
