Tooth and Nail, Fur and Scale
Displayed as found! In the pages of history and in the dense undergrowth of human memory, we see glimpses of lurking fantastic beasts. Be honest-haven't you felt them around you? Haven't you been surprised by movement in the corner of your vision? By stirring shadows or a faint rustling in the dark? The specimens in this exhibit of monsters from the Indian subcontinent have been hand-picked from musty old encyclopedias, murky urban legends, earthy folk tales and the white-hot bowels of mythology. Some have been stuffed to restore verisimilitude, but none were washed, painted or otherwise altered.
Young Pandavas: The School for Warriors
Even princes have to go to school! Arjun’s dream is finally coming true! The elders of Hastinapur are sending the Kuru princes off to boarding school, so that they can learn the art of war from the legendary Guru Dronacharya. His brothers – Yudhishthir, Bhim, Nakul and Sahadev – are, however, less than thrilled. School is hard, and training to be magic-wielding warriors isn’t nearly as fun as it sounds. Also, getting into Guru Drona’s good books is next to impossible, especially when he has a clear favourite – his own son, Ashwatthama. But Arjun’s determined to be the BEST student in the gurukul, even if it means defying Drona himself. Meanwhile, Bhim has to be careful not to destroy everything he touches... The second book in the exciting Young Pandavas series is packed with even more surprises, action and magic than the first!
Young Pandavas
Let the games begin! The Pandavas are all set to graduate from Guru Dronacharya's school, having learnt how to lead armies and wield battle magic. Now they must display their skills in a grand tournament before the entire kingdom! It isn't going to be just fun and games, though. The crafty Kauravas already have a whole new bag of dirty tricks ready to keep Sahadev, Nakul, Arjun, Bhim and Yudhishthir from impressing the people of Hastinapur. As they come closer to their destiny as the heirs of the Kuru kingdom, the Pandavas have to face powerful new rivals, some uncomfortable family secrets, and the dark threat of a looming war... The third book in the Young Pandavas series is a thrilling follow-up to the adventures of the heroes of the Mahabharata, the greatest Indian story of all time!
Young Pandavas: The City of Elephants
Nine-year-old Sahadev and his four brothers – Yudhishthir, Bhim, Arjun and Nakul – are happy in their little forest home, until a forgotten curse changes their lives forever. They return as princes to Hastinapur, a city full of riches ... and secrets. Soon enough, the young Pandavas soon discover that being royalty means a lot more than endless bowls of almond kheer from the fabled palace kitchens, rides on prized warhorses, and having an army of attendants to do their every bidding. There is danger lurking round every corner of their new home, and the five have to use all their wits and skills to get out of sticky situations – especially the ones that involve their 101 cousins, the Kauravas. Lively and action-packed, this illustrated reimagining of the Mahabharata will bring alive the fantastical world of the great India epic like never before!
