Having enjoyed Prince of Fire: The Story of Diwali, Verma and Mistry's other retelling of this story, which was presented in chapter-book form, I was eager to track down The Story of Divaali. It's been a little over a year since I read the former, but it struck me that The Story of Divaali - which was published first - was quite similar to its creator's subsequent chapter-book telling of this story. I wish I had Prince of Fire to hand, so that I could compare the two, but based on memory alone, I would say that the chapter-book was simply a slightly expanded version of this picture-book. The artwork is gorgeous in both - full of color, with a beautiful fairy-tale feeling that is very appealing - although I think I preferred seeing it on larger pages, as it was presented here. As I noted in my review of Prince of Fire, I have never read The Ramayana, but this retelling has reminded me that I would like to - perhaps the version of Tulsidas? However that may be, I'd recommend this one to picture-book readers interested in the mythological story behind Divali, or in children's retellings of The Ramayana.… (altro)
