"Stalwarts of Bengali Folklore\' is a unique book of its kind in a sense that it coalesces the entire works and activities done by the Bengali folklorists in a single volume. The reader can find the contributions that our predecessors in the field of folklore have made. This book contains the life sketches of 25 folklorists, some of whom went long back into the darkness of oblivion. In this book these folklorists have been established on the basis of the merit of their work in folklore. The volume is mention worthy, again for its detailing of the pioneering works done by the folklorists of Bengal in their life time. This must be an essential compendium to everyone who does not even want to miss the Bits of history of the intellectual minds of Bengal." (jacket)
