The Ramayana and Mahabharata: Abridged (Forgotten Books)

Book Description:

"This is an abridged verse translation of the two longest epic poems in world literature, the Ramayana and Mahabharata. This translation is surprisingly readable and very moving once you get used to the rhymed couplet format. This also serves as an ideal introduction to the sprawling plots of these epic tales." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)
