Part one of the great Indian epic Mahabharatha - a compelling chronicle of ambition and destruction. Twelve-year-old Samhita Arni's retelling is bold and unorthodox in its depiction of character and in the sharply critical tone it adopts towards the epic's main theme: war. Illustrated with charming and intricate line drawings, this best-selling book offers children and adults a fresh and accessible perspective on this timeless myth.
