Inspired by stories from the Mahabaratha and local legends about Lanka’s mythical king Ravana, the Perera-Hussein Publishing House has teamed up once again with the exceptionally talented English artist Alex Stewart to illustrate a second, easily accessible storybook based on indigenous folktales. The legendary king Ravana incurs the wrath of lord Shiva who unleashes nature’s fury on the land of Lanka and Ravana must atone for his mistake before it’s too late.
Alex Stewart illustrates this adventure in minute detail, linking past to present by interpreting Ravana’s Dandu Monara as a whimsical flying 3-wheeler! Conceived as a beautifully illustrated series of books that will rekindle the tradition of parents or adults reading stories to children in their circle, this book (the second in a series of three) is bound to capture the imagination of young and old alike, transporting them to magical worlds of fantasy.
