This retelling of the adventures of Rama and Sita was originally written by me for very young readers in the UK, and I tried to tell the story in a simple, unadorned style, knowing that most British children would be unfamiliar with Hindu religion and mythology.
The storybook was called The Adventures of Rama and Sita, and was first published by Julia MacRae Books, London, in 1987.
The text of this edition is exactly the same, only the title has been changed. My grandson, Gautam, was particularly fond of Hanuman, and wanted him in the title. One can’t disappoint a grandson. Hence the change in title.
