Little Krishna

A baby carried through a storm under a serpent's hood. A butter thief who holds the whole universe in his mouth. A cowherd boy who lifts a mountain on one finger, and grows up to found a golden city by the sea. This is the story of Krishna, the friend and guide of the Pandavas, and one of the most loved figures in all of India.
