The Stories of Shri Krishna for Children

These retellings of Krishna's life move between two sides of the same divine figure - stern towards those who do wrong, and endlessly gracious towards the sincere and the innocent. Sudama's distress is answered without hesitation, and Draupadi's honour is protected against all odds, each story a glimpse of a god who remains close to his devotees. Told in simple, lucid language, the collection carries readers into Brindavan to watch Krishna's mischief as a child and his presence as a youth, in stories meant to leave young minds a little lifted by the end.
