The Hindu
She brought alive history through her books
Writer, illustrator and translator Pavithra Srinivasan, who brought alive history through her works including Yester Tales, and Swords and Shadows, passed away in the city on Thursday night. She was 40. Her father said she had complained of breathlessness and was taken to a hospital where she died after efforts to revive her failed. Pavithra wrote for readers of all ages. Her history-driven stories that came out as a column in The Hindu Young World under the head, Yester Tales, were compiled into a book. There were stories on the ancient trade route between Arabia and India and the atom bomb and Hiroshima. As translator, she served non-Tamil readers the beauty of Kalki Krishnamurthi’s Ponniyin Selvan and Sivakamiyin Sabadham.More Related News
