Devoted to Krishna's miraculous incarnation, this collection of sacred tales recounts his childhood and adolescence in the forests of Vrindavan: playing with his friends, dallying amorously with cowherd maidens, and stealing butter to feed the monkeys. Krishna emerges from these episodes as an immediately engaging figure, and the stories have inspired generations of artists, musicians, poets, sculptors, and dramatists. They also contain valuable insights into Hindu views on such matters as creation, cosmography, and the history of the subcontinent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaking its first appearance as a Penguin Classic, this edition of \u003cb\u003eThe Beautiful Legend of God\u003c\/b\u003e includes an introduction, glossary of Sanskrit terms, pronunciation guide and bibliography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
