One of the early books. A pioneering effort in interpreting our myths to the West. Of historical interest - Anjaneya Reddy
Not a bad presentation, I enjoyed it.
This was a required book for a college class. We read the version of the Ramayana offered in it. I & my classmates found that it was lacking in some important details of the epic. My professor said that he chose this one because it was a "cheap, small book." However, he did not realize that this new version has huge print so it is a massive book. He is not going to require it for any future class. I recommend finding a used copy of the old version or else an alternative.
