With intensely colored gouache paintings that dance off the pages, this collection of stories from India entices readers to enter the worlds of the Hindu gods and goddesses, kings and queens, and the ordinary people who inhabit towns and villages. An introduction about India's history begins the book, and each tale is prefaced by information about the Indian state where it's from. Bib.
