Through various activities, the students of ICSK Khaitan provided glimpses into the invigorating lives of famous authors like Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Enid Blyton, J.K.Rowling and many more who have added extensive chapters to English literature through their creativity and imagination.
