he unique personal and loving relationship that Rabindranath Tagore shared with Prasantachandra Mahalanobis and his wife Nirmalkumari Mahalanobis (aka Rani) is a well-known fact for all Tagore enthusiasts. This anthology deals with the English translation of two travel memoirs penned by Nirmalkumari, namely Kobir Shonge Europey (With the Poet in Europe) which vividly nar rates the seven-month long trip to various countries of Europe in 1926, and Kobir Shongey Dakshinattey (With the Poet in the South) narrating the trip to South India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in 1928, both published a long time after the death of the Poet in 1941. It also includes the translation of Pathe O Pather Prante, a collection of sixty letters Rabindranath wrote to Rani by personally selecting from more than five hundred letters he had written to her, and which was published from Visva-Bharati in May/June 1938 under the Patradhara series.
