Rama and Sita: A Tale from Ancient Java

Rating:
Summary: A delightful book with spellbinding illustrations
Review: The Ramayana, as told in Javanese shadow plays, is a tale for all ages. Weitzman creates magical images in color and gold inks based on the shadow puppets. These, by themselves, would be enough to recommend the book, but the language of the retelling of this classic tale is enough to have my six year old and nine year old both coming back again and again. We're buying a second copy for when the first one wears out.
