| Summary/Abstract |
This stunningly illustrated children’s book on Shivaji, the warrior king, is unlike anything else on the legendary hero. Shivaji leaps off the page in a story that ripples with action and adventure and crackles with daring and imagination. The narrative encompasses the Maratha king’s life from birth to death, taking in the fabled feats, formidable forts and the epic escapades he had with his band of faithful friends. The book focuses on Shivaji’s relationship with his mother, the legendary Jijabai, who features prominently in the book. But this story is not only about the great warrior, it is also a tale of the love between mother and child and the passionate loyalty of friends. Interspersed with playful verse that makes the story dynamic and fun, and incredibly detailed hand-painted illustrations that layer and texture the scenes.
