Without tarnishing the magic of these tales, Uma Krishnaswami retells many stories of the Hindu God Ganesha in a concise manner. These stories may be read as standalone tales or as a whole for enjoyment and education.
Nice read because each chapter was a different story. I learned a lot about Ganesha by these stories because each one explained something different about him. There were a few pictures included. Also included was a glossary, and list of some of Ganeshas other names.

Krishnaswami's retellings of Hindu myths from India about the elephant-headed god, Ganesha,opens perceptual doors to a great and still vital Eastern tradition. It includes a pronunciation guide, lists of characters and Ganesha's names as well as a glossary. (From Kirkus review).
Includes Guide for Teachers and Storytellers with pronunciation.
