Ganesha

Ganesh is the potbellied, elephant-headed god who travels everywhere with his faithful rat. He is known as the remover of obstacles, which is why people pray to him before starting anything new. But how did he end up with an elephant's head, and why does he have just one tusk? What does he have to do with the moon growing and shrinking in the sky?

This book answers those questions through lively retellings of the best-loved stories about him. The tales are told in a playful spirit that suits young readers, and colourful illustrations help each one come alive on the page.

It is meant for children first, but the stories are easy for grown-ups to enjoy as well, especially anyone who still remembers listening to them as a child.
