Everything about Krishna

Devdutt Pattanaik has a unique way of re-telling history, which not only retains the essence of historic tales, but adds his own touch to it. Shyam: An Illustrated Retelling of the Bhagavata narrates the story of Lord Krishna’s entire life, and is bound to interest you with its illustrations. The accompanying boxes explain the history behind the myths and tales that are associated with Shyam. The author has divided the entire book into 16 chapters, which makes it easy for the readers to know about Krishna in individual capacities and roles such as Prankster, Lover, Husband and Father. While the language is simple, what might get too much for some readers is the sheer amount of details presented.
