Rama The King

The story of Rama has been sung, recited, recounted and read by countless generations. Old and young have heard tales of Rama’s valour and travels, as he slayed demons and spread his message of love and duty across the subcontinent and beyond. Beloved as a son, brother, husband and ruler, Rama the king is both god and friend to many.
In this beautiful, lyrical yet simply retold story of Lord Rama, Dhan Gopal Mukherji brings him alive in all his glory. From Rama’s quest in the fearsome Dandakaranya forest, to his exile from Ayodhya with Lakshman and Sita, and then his journey to Lanka to vanquish Ravana, each episode is recounted by the master storyteller in language that children will enjoy reading. Well-known and dearly loved characters come alive—the bravery of Hanuman, Ravana’s pride, Sita’s sense of duty and loyalty, and so much more. Fierce battles are won and lost and fearsome rakshasas stride through these pages.
Dhan Gopal Mukherji was an internationally renowned writer of numerous children’s books. This fresh edition of his retelling of Rama’s story will mesmerise a whole new generation of children.
