How our books are written

Every story is retold in full from the traditional sources, in clear modern English. Names and Sanskrit words are explained the first time they appear, each book opens with a recap and a family tree, and each closes with a Who's Who and a glossary, so no one is ever lost.

Difficult moments

These are great epics, with wars, sorrow and death. We never hide what happens, but we tell it gently and without frightening pictures, and we always explain why it matters. We recommend reading the later books together with children under eight.

In the classroom

Our activity companions include crosswords, word searches, story-order cards and “think and draw” questions about the values in each story: honesty, loyalty, courage, forgiveness. The puppet theatre comes with three ready-to-perform plays.

Schools, libraries and community groups

We offer class sets, author visits and bulk pricing for schools, temples, Bal Vihars and libraries.
