This is an amazing book. It tells us about so many mythological stories related to Rama and Krishna. There are many stories through which we get to know how some things came into being, like who was Valmiki before he was a sage and why was he named Valmiki, and many such things. This book really contains very unusual and unheard stories about Rama and Krishna. In short, it is very enjoyable. The illustrations are also splendid. It is a must-read for those who like mythology.

"The women in Indian mythology might be fewer in number, but their stories of strength and mystery in the pages of ancient texts and epics are many." *The Daughter from a Wishing Tree: Unusual Tales about Women in Mythology* is an amazing book. This collection of stories features enchanting and fearless women who frequently led wars on behalf of the gods, were the backbone of their families and makers of their own destinies. There are many fascinating stories of the women in our Indian mythology, from Parvati to Lakshmi and from Ashokasundari to Mandodari. The stories take us through different times and places in mythology. We get to read how Ganga was born and brought to earth, what are the eight forms of Lakshmi, how the first clone of the world was created by a woman and many more such interesting stories. Some of the stories get somewhat boring and pointless but then, these stories help to increase our knowledge of Indian mythology. Overall it is an enjoyable book.

Nice and Interesting Book! There are 51 short stories from the life of the author - Sudha Murty. The author has shared her experiences with us through this book. Anyone would enjoy reading the amazing experiences of the author. We get to read about different types of people and know about our society and the personality of people through this book. The stories have people who lie and the ones who are honest, people who are wise and the ones who try to act smart but not really are, people who don't even have the basic necessities like shelter and cloths and also tribal people. Unlike fictional stories, the author met these people in the real-life which makes it more interesting. The stories not only give entertainment and insights but also teach us various lessons.
