The great goddess Devi comes in many forms and many moods. She is the kind and gentle Parvati, the scholarly Saraswati and also the invincible warrior Durga, who rides out on a lion to fight the evil asuras.In this book, read three exciting tales about the Devi. Discover how Parvati made Shiva fall in love with her; join the gods as they create the mighty warrior goddess Durga to defeat an asura called Mahisha and find out what happened when Saraswati lost her temper and cursed Lord Brahma! Beautifully retold by Subhadra Sen Gupta and accompanied with Tapas Guha’s magnificent illustrations, this book will be loved by every child.
Subhadra Sen Gupta has written over twenty-five books for children including mysteries, historical adventures, ghost stories and comic books. Right now she is waiting for someone to build a time machine so that she can travel to the past and join Emperor Akbar for lunch.
She loves to travel, flirt with cats, chat with auto-rickshaw drivers and sit and watch people.
Tapas Guha is a well known illustrator for children. What he likes best is illustrating comics and animal stories. His work has appeared extensively in books published by Pratham Books, Puffin, Scholastic, Rupa and Oxford University Press.
