The cycle of folklore and popular belief which centres round Krishna, one of the most important elements in the neo-Brahmanical creed of modern India, forms an interesting chapter in the development of Hindu religious myth and cultus. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Category : Krishna (Hindu deity)

Pages : 134
Book Description
Stories about Krishna are told all over India, and his particular appeal is vividly captured by this collection.

Krishna lived life on a grand scale, battling with demons and monsters of all kinds; yet he also stole butter and teased village girls. Marilyn Heeger's illustrations highlight the rich variety of events in the young god's life, and the stories will help children to understand the differences between good and evil. The rhythm and beauty of these tales will surely delight both young and old.
