Book Summary:

The Sage with Two Horns: Unusual Tales from Mythology by Sudha Murty is a captivating collection of lesser-known stories from Indian mythology, designed to engage young readers and ignite their imagination. This book is part of her acclaimed Unusual Tales from Indian Mythology series, which reintroduces age-old narratives with a fresh perspective.

In this collection, Murty brings to light tales that often go unnoticed in traditional retellings. For instance, readers will discover the story of a king who sacrificed his own flesh to honor a promise made to a pigeon, and learn about a throne that bestows upon its sitter the unique ability to dispense justice. Additionally, the book narrates the tale of a sculptor who, despite lacking hands, created magnificent statues. These stories delve into themes of wisdom, justice, and the extraordinary feats of ordinary beings.

Murty's storytelling is complemented by fantastical illustrations, making these tales both engaging and accessible for readers aged 10 and above. The narratives are presented in an unassuming manner, allowing readers to interpret the stories in their own unique ways.
