The three-thousand-year-old tale of Rama, who rescues his wife, Sita, from the Demon King, is said to confer a blessing on all who hear it. In Rama and the Demon King, this glorious myth is retold, so that children of all cultures can enjoy the thrilling story. The vibrant illustrations, based on the ancient tradition of shadow-puppetry, convey all the exuberance of a tale which, although centuries old, is still very much alive.
