Product Description

Reviews
"Strength, action, vigour, expressivenes all shine through. This wonderful story is given full measure within the book's short compass and I recommend it confidently." (School Librarian)

"An action-packed chunk of the Ramayana traditionally told at Diwali, with eye-poping illustrations in the style of shadow puppets. What more could you want?" (Times Educational Supplement) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
The three-thousand-year-old tale of Rama, who rescues his wife, Sita, from the Demon King, is said to confer a blessing on all who hear it. In Rama and the Demon King, this glorious myth is retold, so that children of all cultures can enjoy the thrilling story. The vibrant illustrations, based on the ancient tradition of shadow-puppetry, convey all the exuberance of a tale which, although centuries old, is still very much alive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rama and the Demon King, 13 Jul 2009
By Ms. H. J. Taylor (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great story. The illustrations are fabulous and the language is dramatic. I found it captivated 7-9 year olds but could imagine using it with younger or older children too. The dual language text makes it especially appealing for teaching purposes.
