Makkaligagi Ramayana  (Kannada, Paperback, Ramaswamy Chitra)

Ramayana, the story of Rama, the Price of Ayodhya, was the first ever story to be written in the world. The story teller, Valmiki, who wrote the story in the form of a long poem in Sanskrit is called the first poet. The Ramayana is one of the first stories a child hears from his parents or grandparents. As children grow up and learn to read, their first choice is again, the story of Rama. This book for children in Kannada is mainly based on Valmiki’s Ramayana. All the major events from the epic are narrated in brief. An attempt has been made to recapture the spirit of the Ramayana in upholding values including love for nature.
