No one has written as much for children in Kannada as Karanth has. Here too the similarity with Tagore is remarkable. Tagore wrote Bengali primers for children; Karanth wrote them in Kannada. After I learnt to read Kannada, the first books that I read were the Amar Chitra Katha stories written by Shivarama Karanth. It is not generally known that the early Amar Chitra Kathas were written by Shivarama Karanth. The project was the brainchild of G.K. Anantharam, who headed IBH Publications in Bangalore. He asked Karanth to write the text, which he did, for the sake of children. Anantharam got the text illustrated. They were later translated into English and as is often the case, the English editor got the credit. The real credit belongs to Anantharam and Shivarama Karanth.
