Come on a journey through the cosmos to witness the wonders of creation with master storyteller Jamila Gavin. In this beautiful volume, cherished Hindu tales are given a new voice, as stories of great floods, evil kings, beautiful princesses and epic battles between good and evil leap from the pages.
Illuminated by winning artist Amanda Hall's sumptuous illustrations, which show influences from both contemporary and classical Indian art, this magnificent collection will delight and intrigue readers in equal measure.

She won the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year Award in 2000 for her novel Coram Boy.
