Katha Sagar, Ocean Of Stories: Hindu Wisdom for Every Age

Excellent collection of stories.

This collection of stories from Hindu mythology is a wonderful introduction for school age children that will fill them with wonder and jumpstart their imagination. For the adult reader, you will find the stories very whimsical entwined with cogent values and tradition that would make for thoughtful "bed-time story" material. As a non-Hindu, I found this book to be very clear to understand with plenty of background knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and a very helpful afterword, story notes and sources, and glossary. The illustrations in the book are worthy of framing and evoke emotions that match the spirit of the story. This book is definitely one for your bookshelf and for growing the cultural awareness of your child!

In my opinion, this is a poorly written story book. I bought this since the title was impresssive. Stopped reading half way thru story 1.
