Book description

Dashavatar is a collection of the spell-binding stories for children.In each of the tales,the world is on the brink of collapse,when Vishnu decides to rescue it.He takes on a variety of forms,sometimes splendorous,at other times humble.From Matsya Avatar,where Vishnu assumes the shape of a fish,to Vamana Avatar,where he shrinks in size,to Krishna avatar,where he becomes the blue one,each of the stories speaks of the Lord's benevolence and the triumph of good over evil.Written in a style that is lucid and cogent,the book is must-read for every child.
