The Mahabharatha: A Child\
The Mahabharatha: A Child's View

Twelve year old Samhita Arni's beautifully illustrated version of the Mahabharatha is a bold and fresh re-telling of the great epic. The epic which was earlier in two separate volumes is now available in a single volume.


New

Written and illustrated by Samhita Arni

The great Indian epic Mahabharatha is a complex tale of ambition, war and destruction. Twelve year old Samhita Arni's version is bold and unorthodox in its depiction of character and in the sharply critical tone it adopts towards the epic's main theme: war. Samhita has illustrated the book herself with intricate line drawings.
