Harry Aveling’s _**[Hikayat Pandawa Lima](https://writersworkshopindia.com/books/hikayat-pandawa-lima/),**
_published by **Writers Workshop**, has been reviewed by Dr Pradip Bhattacharya 
in _**The Book Review**._ He says of the book:

“_Chock-full of adventures and romance, the flavour is much like the Kathasaritsagara(
c. 11th century) and Dashakumaracharita (c. 8th century). Aveling’s introduction
provides a valuable framework for reading the chronicle. The publisher Ananda Lal’s
list of original Sanskrit names of major characters is extremely helpful in navigating
through the plethora of persona peopling the chronicle. Gold-embossed lettering 
and the binding in handloom cloth make this production worth having._”
