We have all heard the tales of Hanuman-the monkey god who dared to
pluck the sun from the sky and put it in his mouth. A loyal follower of Lord
Rama, a fierce friend of the Kishkindha monkeys, and a valiant hero who
could give his life for friends and family, Hanuman is loved and revered by
many in the subcontinent.
This evocative and lyrical story showcases brave Hanuman in a new light.
From the marriage of his parents-Pavana, the god of winds, and Anjana,
the daughter of the Earth-and his childhood days, to his meeting with the
vanaras of Kishkindha and his journey with Rama to Lanka to vanquish the
demon king Ravana, this is a story of valour, strength and loyalty. With each
episode in his life, be it his first meetings with Rama, Lakshmana, Sita-and
Mother Earth; or battling with crocodiles and flying across land and sea to
acquire the Herb of Healing, see Hanuman grow to become the god he was
always meant to be.
Dhan Gopal Mukherji was one of the finest writers from India in the
twentieth century and renowned internationally for his beautiful stories for
younger readers. Hanuman the Hero is not just a retelling that will entertain
children, it is a fresh take on Indian culture which will delight a new
generation.
