Diwali: Stories, Legends, Myths

FIVE DAYS OF DIWALI. TWENTY-FIVE STORIES. ONE FESTIVAL OF MAGIC, MYTHS AND LIGHT. When Mishti and Rahul arrive at Nana and Nani's home for the Diwali holidays, they expect sweets, lights and laughter. What they don't expect is to be swept into a world where marigolds guard doorways, oceans churn up treasures, gods battle demons, and a cow's roar can summon an army. As the evenings glow with diyas, Nana and Nani unlock story after story-from the fall of ten-headed Ravana to the night Kali danced in the darkness, from Krishna lifting a mountain to the promise between a brother and sister. Diwali: Stories, Legends, Myths is a one-of-its-kind comprehensive Diwali story collection, packed with over twenty-five tales that span the five days of celebration. It's a feast of wonder, mythology, gods and goddesses, and magic-one that will light readers' imagination long after the last lamp fades.
