Rama and Sita: A Tale from Ancient Java

(3) K-3 This theatrical retelling captures the majesty and heroism in the Hindu story of the unjustly exiled Prince Rama and his lovely wife Sita, who is kidnapped by an evil giant. Gorgeous illustrations, modeled on Javanese shadow puppets and rendered in black, reds, and gold leaf, suit the stylized pageantry of this tale of good and evil. No source notes are provided.
