Three Maestros is the English translation of the legendary writer Pratibha Rays’s Odia storybook Tini Ostad.The novella had its genesis in the bed time story-telling of the author in her role of raconteur to her three children.Three school going siblings play truant and go on a picnic to the forest, meet a dog there and an adventure unfolds which takes them through a dacoit’s den, a sea voyage, landing in an unknown island, an attempt to civilise the islanders, pining for home and coming back. The novel is touched by patriotism, love of nature, love of people, compassion for animals, fellow-feeling, value of education and literacy, significance of science and technology, and a positive humanistic outlook.
