Gods, demons and nagas, handsome men and women, magic incantations and spiritual power, the subterranean world and the cosmic one, are some of the strands woven into the rich brocade of Hindu mythology. The classic stories in this choice selection are a few of the best-known ones from the living traditions of India. The powerful themes they contain - death and rebirth, and the understanding that all creatures, good or evil, have a role to play in the grand design of nature - all form an intrinsic part of Hindu thought. In this book they are expressed on narratives that will appeal, for the beauty of their retelling, to young and old alike.
