Puranas
The Puranas are any one of eighteen sacred books of Hinduism, attributed to Vyasa, which elaborate and popularize the spiritual truths of the Vedas by means of illustrations from the lives of divine incarnations, saints, kings, and devotees, whether historical or mytholological.
One popular Puranas is the Srimad Bhagavatam which tells about Krishna. Please visit the link.
Separate and distinguished from the Puranas are the two great epics of India, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, both listed separately. The epics are much older than the Puranas.
Please note that the quality of the English translation of the Puranas can be poor, and for some, tedious. Most of them only come in one English translation (!)
