Jacket art by Vera Rosenberry. keywords: Children's Books India. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The princess Savitri is so beautiful that people think she is a goddess. But it is her mind and heart, not her beauty, which make her a heroine. When she finds a man worthy to wed her, no one can sway Savitri from her heart's path-not even Yama, the god of death. Savitri pursues him as he carries her husband's spirit to his kingdom. It is, finally, Savitri's cleverness which wins her husband's life. This dramatic retelling presents a classic tale of courage, love, wit, and will from India's national epic, The Mahabharata. Vera Rosenberry's ornate and powerful illustrations combine with the text to bring audiences the flavor of a rich and ancient culture. inventory #17847.
