The book proved to be a visual treat. Presenting the story of Lord Krishna through beautiful classical, folk and modern artworks is a unique idea and has been executed extremely beautifully in this book. I and my eleven year old son found the artworks and the accompanying narrative quite fascinating. We read the book this week just in time for Janmashtami (Krishna’s birthday) which is one of our favourite festivals. The book made us appreciate how art has depicted Krishna in different ways. It serves as an ideal tribute to how artwork is a medium to tell stories. Overall a lovely addition to bookshelves for inculcating an appreciation of art.
