(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Maniam Selven. Clever, fierce, modest, beautiful, loving, or vengeful, the heroines in these eighteen tales, drawn from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, oral tradition, legends, and literary masterpieces, as well as Krishnaswami's own memory, provide a multifaceted view of Indian women. Selven's black-and-white line drawings are an understated complement to these well-told tales. Source notes are included. Glos.
