(4) 4-6 Classic Indian Stories for Children series. Illustrated by Nona Weltevrede & Pieter Weltevrede. In this adaptation from the Mahabharata, reluctant fighter Prince Arjuna and his Pandava brothers must attack their evil cousin Duryodhana and allied family members to regain their kingdom. The appended note explains some of the complex moral issues in the text-heavy story but may not provide enough background information. The father-and-son illustrators' intricate tempera and watercolor paintings are styled after traditional Indian art.
