This Persian story recalls the origin of the game we now call chess. Its original name was Chaturanga meaning four divisions, and was developed by a young Indian boy, Mohan who liked to play games and who was also a clever mathematician. Inspired by his Grandfathers’ stories of military conquest, he applied the idea of strategies to a game. Cameron’s luscious, deep, oil colors, infuse life into the illustrations; highly complimenting this story of wealth, intelligence and power.
