Kate’s choice: The House of Arden by E. Nesbit

Ali’s choice: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

The Mahabharat has been dramatized twice for TV. This is the one I watched in the 1980s.

If you want to read the other great Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana, I recommend this graphic novel version told from Sita’s perspective.

A new biography of Edith Nesbit was published in 2019.

The House of Arden was dramatized for BBC radio in 1989. You can buy an audiobook collection of Nesbit adaptations here.
