About the Author
Renowned novelist Vrindavanlal Varma was born on 9th January 1889 in a noble Srivastava Kayasthya family at Mauranipur in Jhansi. Since childhood he had keen interest in History. Hence, even while doing higher studies in law, he deeply studied History, Politics, Philosophy, Psychology, Music Sculpture and Architecture as well. Varmaji acclaimed fame mostly for his historical novels. In his novels he negated the fact that in historical novels either the history dies or the novel. Instead he gave a new lease of life to history as well as to novels. He was honoured with 'Padam Bhushan' for his literary works; Agra University presented him with honorary D. Lit. He received Soviet Land Nehru Award' and Govt. of India also awarded him for his novel 'Jhansi Ki Rani'. Besides these he received many honours and prizes from various institutions for his literary writings. Varmaji's most novels have been translated into various Indian as well as English, Russian and Czech languages. Films have been made on his novels 'Jhansi Ki Rani' and 'Mrignayani'.

Forward by Varma,

My great grandmother, who had known the Rani, left behind an invaluable legacy of stories and events from the Rani's life. When I was ten years old she passed away. My grandmother kept the flame of enthusiasm burning throughout my childhood and adulthood. Six years after I had begun practicing law, she too died. But the luminescence radiating from this remarkable period of history, on which I had been weaned, began to pale when examined in the light of accounts of the Rani's times by present day historians.
