Narayan is at his best when he describes a child. His description of childhood and boyhood is based on his own memories of his childhood and modelled on his peers. Narayan’s child hates school and discipline. They are innocently cunning and like him they believe in the existence of gods, demons, and spirits. They also have faith in the powers of God and demons and are superstitious. This paper attempts to explore the fictional yet realistic world of children vividly penned by Narayan.
