Valmiki has barely put down his pen
after completing his magnificent creation, the epic Ramayan, when
he realises he has competition. The sage Narad tells him that
there is a better Ramayan, written by Hanuman. Valmiki is
devastated! As the story of Hanuman's Ramayan unfolds,
humorously and gently, so does the idea that there is no one
version of the well-loved story about Ram, Sita, Hanuman and Ravan,
but many. Here, the quirky illustrations based on the style of
Mithila folk paintings tell their own story. |
