Synopsis

Book by Valmiki Jatinder Verma

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'The triumph of good over evil, light over dark and love over hate is brought fully alive in Jatinder Verma's powerful retelling of The Story of Divaali... The story is rich in rhythm, imagery and language and begs to be read aloud. Delicate pictures in a palette of rainbow colours embellish every page of this beautiful retelling.' --Junior Education

'Jatinder Verma creates a narrator whose voice infuses the telling with humanity and heightened drama. The sense of performance extends to Nilesh Mistry's illustrations and the design of the book, both of which are outstanding. Mistry's images spring to life on the page in passion and energy. The text ebbs and flows around them and divides to frame them. Colour enhances the mood of the action. Lithe, sensuous characters perform against a backdrop of exotic flowers, pulsing waves, curling flames, and speeding arrows.' --Times Educational Supplement

'A faithful re-telling of the Ramayana story, it is well written and illustrated and would make a useful addition to a primary school's resources for focusing on Hinduism over the upper primary age range.' --RE Today
