Author Description

King Shibi is the noblest king in all the lands. So noble, in fact, that even the gods have heard of him! But one day, a hawk whose hunt was thwarted by the king, demands his due, putting King Shibi's sense of honour to the ultimate test. This beautiful story from the Mahabharata is charmingly adapted by Daya Subramanian, and the illustrations in the traditional Mithila style by Uma Krishnaswamy reect the timeless quality of this ancient tale.
