Beastly Tales from Here and There

Author: Vikram Seth

Price : $ 17 (Includes shipping)
Book review
Of the ten fables told here, two come from India, two from China, two from Greece, two from the Ukraine, and two, as the author puts it, ‘came directly to me from the land of Gup.’ This is a book that displays the astonishing versatility of the poet who gave us The Golden Gate and All You Who Sleep Tonight. The flair and delight of Beastly Tales from Here and There is proof that Vikram Seth can try on the most unusual clothes without in the least losing his unique poetic identity.
