Sita: Daughter of the Earth

Published by Campfire, 2011, softcover, illustrated, large format, condition: new.

In an ancient age, when gods and goddesses walked with mortals...

...Sita is the kind-hearted and intelligent princess of the kingdom of Videha. Married to Rama, prince of Ayodhya, her journey in life takes her from exhilaration to anguish.

Along the way, she has to leave behind the luxury of royal comforts and live the simple, harsh life of a forest dweller, where danger is lurking in every shadow.

Ensnared in the evil plans of the wicked demon-king Ravana, Sita is abducted and hidden away in Lanka. Will Rama muster up a strong army to rescue Sita from the demon's clutches? Will Sita return to Ayodhya to become queen of the land... or is she destined to be mistrusted and live alone for the rest of her life?

Adapted from the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, this is a touching tale of love, honor, and sacrifice that reveals one woman's shining strength in an unforgiving world.

Loved it. The story, characters and the illustrations are accurate and concise! The cover is just soooo damn alluring and the content is just worth it! It's mythology and I cannot judge or criticize mythological storylines but it's rather consistent and whole. I appreciate the art work. The later half is much easier to get through. The first half is a bit haphazard and difficult to read. It's an amazing graphic representation. I would love another part of the Indian mythologies in such format.
