Having
born in a country like India which has such rich and diverse culture we are all
born story lovers. We keep hearing various mythological tales since childhood
and keep building images in our mind. This book is an affirmation on all those
tales that we heard as a child. I picked up this book one for the connect it
gave to my childhood, two mythology has always fascinated me for I feel with 33
crore God and Goddess the stories can never get over for us and three mystic
India as a name allured me to read this book.

About
the author
Kamla
K Kapur is currently working on her debut novel.
Me
thinks
The
most eye catching feature about this book apart from its cover page is the
insides. The pages are so beautifully done with elephant motifs, lotuses and
such designs adorning the page. The table of contents has been neatly divided
into the categories like stories of Vishnu, stories of Brahma, Stories of
Shiva, Parvati and Ganesha, stories of Krishna and some parables, stories from
Ramayana and stories from Mahabharata.
Each and every story is uniquely narrated with eye-catching pictures
adding more beauty to the narrative.
The
author has chosen some of the most wonderful stories from those times and
described them in a prolific manner leaving you with a thoroughly exuberant!
There were many stories which I was hearing for the first time and was pleasantly
taken aback on reading their context to the whole of the story.
This
book is a must have in one’s collection not only for yourself to know your rich
and diverse cultural heritage better but also for your next generations to come
for them to know what a blessing it is to be born with history so beautiful and unique in this whole
world.
