Description

Every Indian state has a name. Every name has a story. This is that book.Where did Bengal get its name? From Vanga – a king who ruled a kingdom ringed by mighty waters. What about Jharkhand? From an ancient bond between a people and their forest. And Goa? It was once Govapuri, long before the beaches and the blue. Name, Place, Magic! takes young readers across every corner of India through the stories behind the names we all know – drawn from mythology, the Puranas, local legends and centuries of oral tradition. From the fifty sons of a sage who built the land of Andhra to the misty hills of Meghalaya, from Punjab's fields to Kerala's shores, every place in this book is a place a child in India calls home.Packed with gods, warriors and unforgettable adventures, this is the perfect read-aloud book for children aged 8 and up – and for every parent, grandparent or teacher who has ever wanted to hand a child a piece of their own history.For fans of Sudha Murty's mythological retellings and Devdutt Pattanaik's children's titles.Perfect for birthdays, festivals, school prizes and classroom shelves.
