Amar Kathayenn (Hindi) [Golden Set] (Children's Book Trust, New Delhi)

Description : Sanskrit literature in general and the Indian epics in particular are a rich storehouse of romantic tales which have stood the test of time. Kalidasa's 'Shakuntalam' (about Shakuntala), Shudraka's 'Mrichchakatikam' (in which Vasantasena is the heroine) and Bhavabhuti's 'Malati Madhavam' (about Malati and Madhava) are three such. These together with "Nala Damayanti' and 'Chitrangada' from the Mahabharata, especially adapted for the young adult, have been put together in this compendium of five famous classics.
