Kalidasa's Trilogy by Dipavali Debroy

Dipavali Debroy retells three of Kalidasa’s poetic works in English prose: Meghadootam, Kumarasambhavam and Raghuvamsham. The stories move from a separated lover’s message carried by a cloud to Shiva and Parvati and the royal lineage of Rama.

These are adaptations designed to introduce the works and their storytelling, not literal translations of the Sanskrit poems. A way into classical Indian literature and its mythological worlds for readers who want to begin with an accessible narrative. ISBN 9788187967705.
