Abanindranath Tagore's Khirer Putul in Bangla, published in 1896, is one of the first printed children's books in India for leisure reading. Tagore, his protg Nandalal Bose, Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury (who founded the Bangla children's magazine Sandesh), his son Sukumar Ray and grandson Satyajit Ray were the pioneers of children's book illustrations in India.
