Myths and fables have always interested me. As a child the heroic tales captured my imagination but as an adult I have seen them as clues to new old worlds and civilizations and backdrops for scientific developments.

Not entirely accurate when compared to actual Sanskrit texts, but still an interesting read.

I really wanted to DNF this book but I pushed through. This is not because it’s a bad book I’m sure others would enjoy it but personally the writing style didn’t speak to me, for a book that’s about myths it didn’t transport me. It wasn’t magical. Instead I just kept getting annoyed over how the women were treated, and a little bored elsewhere.

Feels slightly dated now, and the archaeology of the early Indian civilisations will have moved on. However, a good introduction to the major Indian sagas.
