This is a rich and dazzling collection of mythological tales drawn from Hindu epics. Each story is told in colour yet simple language, and prefaced with some personal anecdote from the author's childhood. It is beautifully illustrated throughout in black line and tone by Michael Foreman.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Seasons of Splendour: Tales, Myths and Legends of India (Paperback)
Seasons of Splendor by Michal R. is a really great book because it has Indian tales. Two of my favorite tales in this book have my favorite characters: Lakshmi and the Cleaver Washer Woman the characters in that tale are: Lakshmi the king, and the cleaver washerwoman. The second tale is called How Ganesh got his elephant head the characters in that tale are Parvati, Shiva, and Gnash the baby. It has Indian tales. The pictures explain part of the story. One of the tales are How Ram killed the devil king Ravan.The picture of Prahlad falling of the mountain shows as he lands without getting hurt. You might like these old myths and tales from India. My favorite myth is called How Ganesh got his elephant head. You should read it to learn about Indian things.
