About the author(s)

Manju Dasgupta is the author of the much loved yet hard to find book When Your Granny Was A Little Girl, the story of her childhood written for her two grandchildren from her two sons. This planned trilogy introduces children who live in nuclear families to the joint family system, and citizens of 21st century India to the early days of independence and the struggles of an emerging nation. Born in 1939 and a topper from Jadavpur University in History, Manju has lived a life of adventure while witnessing a world and societies in transition. Her writing, while conversational and light-hearted, contains wisdom that is deep, timeless and universal.
