Hanuman

So starts the powerful story of Hanuman the monkey hero, who believed he had lost all his magic.

This lavishly illustrated retelling of the Ramayana, India's sacred text, recounts how a young Hanuman once leapt all the way to the sun -- but suffered dearly for it.

Now all grown, he lends his long-forgotten powers to the cosmic battle to save Princess Sita from the foul demon king, Ravana.

This stirring adventure evokes modern-day epics such as Star Wars with its sweeping panoramas, heroic themes, and unique version of the eternal conflict between good and evil.
