Thousands of years in their telling and retelling, these stories invite readers of all ages to explore one of the world's most ancient and varied religious traditions. Vivid dramas featuring gods, goddesses, kinds, sages and fools have been selected from Ancient Hindu epics, myths and fold traditions across India.
The stories themselves convey key values such as honesty, generosity, devotion and justice and, also, introduce readers to unique religious and cultural observances. Included are vibrant colour illustrations and a resources section which provides background information on Hinduism.
Sarah Conover has written 6 books on world wisdom traditions and the spiritual education of families. Abhi Janamanchi is a third-generation member of the Brahmo Samaj, a liberal Hindu reform movement with ties to Unitarian Universalism. Shanthi Chandrasekar is a Maryland-based artist who has been drawing and painting since early childhood. She is trained in the traditional art form of Tanjore-style painting.
