The Ramayana

Author: Priority Publications
Pages: I read 30 and there are 228 in all.

I am reading an old Epic called The Ramayana. One of the most interesting part is when Ravana kidnaps Sita. I would recommend it to readers those who like easy to read text books. The Ramayana might have some Hindi/ Sanskrit words but they're are not so hard to understand because there are pictures in the book most of the time when those kind of words come.

Summary:
When Rama cuts the ears and nose off of Surpanakha, Surpanakha went to her brothers and told them that. The brothers sent a small army to kill Rama, but they failed to do so.  Then the brothers went themselves with an army and they failed too. Rama killed all the demons but only Akampana survived who went to Ravana for help. Ravana is the king of deamons. To seek revenge, Ravana tricked Rama and Laksmana to get away from Sita and then kidnapped her. When Rama and Laksmana came back they could not find Sita and started looking for her. On their way to find Sita they found Jatayu a very big bird dying, Jatayu had tried to stop Ravana but failed since Ravana slashed Jatayu's wing. As Rama and his brother went through another town they got food and directions to reach the Monkey Chief. Finally they reach the village of monkeys where they met Hanuman, who led them to The chief of Monkeys.
