Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Everyone makes mistakes, but it is the lessons we learn that are important. What better a character to introduce children to Hindu mythology than Ganesha, the god of new beginnings? Often impulsive, forever generous, the elephant-headed god with the fat belly makes mistakes but learns from them. He fills the world around him with laughter. These stories deliver up a pantheon of Hindu deities and support such concepts as nonviolence, respect for life, and the folly of vanity. This collection of Hindu folktales for middle readers features stories about the Hindu god, Ganesha, who is easily recognized because of his elephant head.

Included among these classic stories are Ganesha's Head, The Broken Tusk, and Why Ganesha Never Married.

The simple pen-and-ink illustrations support the themes and a helpful pronunciation guide and glossary are also included. Selven, Maniam; Maniam, Selven (illustrator).…
