Nothing about the legendary Indian cartoonist Pran Kumar Sharma (15 August 1938 – 5 August 2014), better known as PRAN, and creator of iconic Indian cartoons, Chacha Chaudhary (1971) Shrimatiji, Pinki, Billoo, Raman, and Channi Chachi amongst others and along with the other legend Anant Pai (Amar Chitra Katha ACK) created animations and cartoons of indian characters.

Pinki is one of the more intrepid characters created by Pran.
The character was created in 1978 a 5 year old girl who has a razor tongue and childish tongue in cheek coming forth in the stories.
The book provides light clean entertainment for kids, and the young at heart and Pinki's activities bring smile on our face.
