I will start with some of the books I have read.
For some really outlandish versions of the Ramayan, or at least parts of it, here are some shows you could watch online:
Bajrangbali (1976)
Some of the more unusual stories, such as Ravan giving Lakshman a discourse on his death, or Indrajit's severed hand writing a farewell note to Sulochana, will be available from here. At least, when you see something really strange on Sagar, it might have been here.
C Rajagopalachari's books on both Ramayan & Mahabharat are moderately detailed, and cover those stories to a greater extent than normal kids versions of these epics usually do. However, one thing I didn't like about him was that he allows his own (relatively) contemporary opinions to cloud whether he covered a certain story or not (like his refusal to cover the Uttar-kand) or how he covered it (in the Mahabharat, he criticizes Bhima & Arjun for being enthusiastic about fighting Jarasandha in preparation for Yudhisthir's Rajasuya yagna). Other than that, he is good.
Also, Vibs, while some peeps may scoff at ACK's for being kids stuff, actually, they are good. When I was a kid, that's what got my interest started, and I read so many mythological tales (sometimes contradictory, which made it confusing) that I'd know it inside out. The 52 volumes of the Mahabharat that ACK had was really comprehensive: I wonder whether they have anything similar on Valmiki's Ramayan.
