It is good to have Baby Maudud’s short but tender narrative translated into English for the young competently by Mansura Mahmuda and Alim-ur-Razi Syed as Russel’s Story. Those who would like to know about Bangabandhu’s youngest son and the other members of his family from up close in the English language will now have get ample opportunity to do so. For sure, the translators have been able to give a new generation of readers a very readable narrativeabout Russel that will surely remain in their memory afterwards. In the process, they will come to know as well about the inhumanity of the assassins who murdered Bangabandhu’s family. But most importantly, readers of Russel’s Story will glimpse the loving husband and father that Bangabandhu was and his warm relationship with his youngest child through this translation.
