Diwali: Stories, Legends, Myths

When Mishti and Rahul arrive at their Nana-Nani's home for the Diwali holidays, they expect sweets, lights and laughter. What they find instead are marigolds guarding doorways, oceans churning up treasures and gods battling demons. As the evenings glow with the soft light of diyas, Nana and Nani unlock story after story: of the fall of ten-headed Ravana, the night Kali danced in the darkness, the mountain that Krishna picked up with one finger, the promise made-and kept-between a brother and sister. Diwali: Stories, Legends, Myths is a marvellous collection of over twenty-five tales that span the five days of celebration. It's a feast of mythology, with gods, goddesses and magic-one that will continue to fuel your imagination long after the last lamp has faded.
