S. B. Banerjea

Satya Bhushan Bandyopadhyay, better known as S. B. Banerjea, was an Indian author remembered today chiefly for Tales of Bengal. Public-domain library records and author listings identify him under both names, linking the English byline S. B. Banerjea with the fuller Bengali name Satya Bhushan Bandyopadhyay.

His work is closely associated with Bengal and its social world. Tales of Bengal, published in 1910, presents short fiction rooted in the lives, customs, and relationships of the region, which helps explain why his writing still appeals to readers interested in classic Indian storytelling.

Available reference pages also note that he served as editor of the Calcutta University Magazine. Beyond that, reliable biographical detail appears to be scarce online, so much of his life remains lightly documented in easily accessible sources.
