"A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors."

– Charles Baudelaire

Deepavali – one of India’s biggest and most popular festivals – comes with a treasure-trove of legends. Festival of Lights then narrates each of them. It tells the young reader why Indians light a hundred lamps on Diwali, why they worship Goddess Lakshmi and why they hope. With seven stories on Naraka’s defeat, Mahadevi’s triumph, and Rama’s conquest, the book is certain to enthrall a child.
