[Next project] The Spoilt Child: A Tale of Hindu Domestic Life by Peary Chand Mitra

[Chelsea McGill]

Hi, 

I would like to propose this book as my next project. It is the first novel written in Bengali, and is a satire of Bengali society in the mid-1800s. 

The sources are:

Best, 

Chelsea

I would place this book at advanced difficulty. It has frontmatter, lots
of internal formatting, a good number of endnotes, and also a glossary.
Glossaries require special attention and a lot of work, see
https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.8/single-page#7.11

If you think you can handle it, then I start a repo and send a link. But
you could also try your hand at a more moderate difficulty production first.
