Chandamamma



 Many in my generation would wait for the monthly tamil Ambilimama in Madras for a feast of mythological stories fairy tales and series Vikram betal .

Later came english version Chandamama and i remember finding a bound collection in a friends house which he lend to me .


In 1952 it was released in malayalam as Ambuliammavan .


It was in 1947 that it was started by film magnate Nagi reddy in Telugu first .


The family owned it till 2007 when they sold it Geodesic who wanted to publish in digitsl form but now its folded up due to litigation .

Sankar was one of its earliest illustrators who worked till recently passed away now .

My fond memories .
