'The Southern Veranda' - the reminiscences of Mohonlal Gangopadhyay (1910-1969), son of famous litterateur Manilal Gangapadhyay and grandson of the great artist Abanindranath Tagore, is a superb piece of literature. In it the author recounts the days of his childhood and early youth that he had spent at Calcutta's Jorasanko with his renowned grandfather. The book is a tale of such endless adventures that happened within the four walls of a house and its premises. Throughout the book there is an undercurrent of melancholy and pathos as those days of sunrise and gaiety were passing away.
