The Serpent's Revenge: Unusual Tales From The Mahabharata

You must read to know the facts about our Culture!!!!! My Humble salutations to you, Sudha Murthy Ma'am!!!!!

Title : The Serpent’s Revenge Author : Sudha Murthy Genre : Mythology Pages : 181 Publisher : Penguin Rating : 5 / 5 My Review : We are very much aware of the epic tale : Mahabharata but are oblivious to numerous episodes which occurred before and after this magnanimous war. Hence, this book gives us an elaborate understanding of various incidents that led to the war (Mahabharata) and how the deeds of various Warriors and Kings had an adverse effect on the lives of their successors. I won’t be listing out my favourite stories as each and every tale in this book will either present a lesson for life or surprise you with it’s plot and climax. You really need to be wise enough to understand the crux, certain tales has to offer, for the growth of your spiritual being. Sudha Murthy never fails to amaze it’s readers with her magnificent stories and seamlessly perfect writing skills. The language is simple yet elegant and convincing at the same time. Owing to this reason, she is one of my favourite authors of all time. Guys, just read this book and I’m sure you will thank me later.

The book has a good collection of stories from mahabharat. This book is not for the people who know mahabharat very well but, for children and who know only the gist of the story. Well written in simple words and can be understood very easily. It's certainly good book for school age children.

I loved this book! I'm so happy that kids at a young age can read this book and know more about Mahabharata and mythology. Some of the stories are known ones, but some are refreshing. Knowing mythology is one thing, but knowing the right things matters. This book is a collection of such short stories from 'The Mahabharata' and I'm so so happy my son is reading such books. Sudha Murthy ma'am has a way of weaving stories in a beautiful way. Overall, a beautiful read. P.S. For those who have read or seen Mahabharata few stories are known.

Good book for young children for reading

Very simple and easy language , also very informative

It is fun to read as children are loving reading the book. They find it interesting to know about more mythological stories like this one about Mahabharata.

Before buying the book, I thought this book is only for children. That is not true. This book is for everyone who wants to know more about the epic from different perspective. This book is a collection of several short stories which are rarely mentioned in the epic. I am in love with this book. The language is very simple and can clearly engage your mind for a long time. You can go for it.

Love the stories they were great short stories. Some I knew some were really interesting and gave me a greater understanding of the Mahabharata

Simple and warm story books packed with life lessons by Sudha Murty is always a good read to raise good/humble human being in materialistic world.

Good reflection on the known stories in the Mahabharata. Read in one stance. One of the best write-ups of the Author..
