Rama and Sita – Path of Flames

Sally Pomme Clayton and Sophie Herxheimer’s latest book came out on October 7 2010. It brings to life an ancient Hindu epic, The Ramayana, which has travelled across religions, languages, and countries. Princess Sita has been stolen by Ravana, the Demon King. And Rama sets off to find her. Rama is helped by Hanuman, the magic monkey, who flies over the sea, sets fire to the Demon Kingdom, and carries a mountain on the palm of his hand. The story ends with lamps lighting Rama and Sita’s pathway home – the moment that is at the heart of the Hindu festival, Divali. Published by Frances Lincoln. ISBN: 9781845076726
