“Myths, Legends and Reality in the Novels of M.R. Anand, R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao : A Critical Study is a modest attempt to analyse and evaluate the various aspects of myths, legends and reality as portrayed by the three great champions of Indian writers in English. Atmost all the chief novels of the aforesaid writers have been critically evaluated and special emphasis has been laid on the meaning, definition, growth and development of myths and legends in the modern perspectives.

The book, it is hoped, will be of great use to all those students, teachers and research scholars who want to be deeply associated with the legends, myths and reality of the early authors of Indian Fiction Writing.”(jacket)
