This book was first printed in 1897. When Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury first made the pictures for this book using wood blocks they did not turn out well.

The story has six parts, which're like small books. You can find the Chheleder Ramayana" book by Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury, on the Internet Archives website
