This accessible collection of ancient India’s most insightful tales and myths celebrates well known stories and others that are small, unnoticed gems, not readily known to Western readers. These stories of Vishnu, Brahma, Ganesha and the other gods of India, as well as humans struggling with life’s problems, encapsulate some of life’s essential truths. The collection contains adaptations from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, and Vedas stories. Acclaimed writer Kamla Kapur brings her poet’s eye and ear to the retelling of these stories, recreating and dramatizing them to illuminate their relevance to modern times.

An Indo-American poet and writer, Kamla K. Kapur is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry, As a Fountain in a Garden and Radha Sings. She divides her time between living in a remote area of the Himalayas and San Diego.
