Book review
Translated from twenty-two different languages of the subcontinent, these one hundred and ten tales are an indispensable guide to the richness and vitality of India’s ageless folklore tradition.
‘This collection covers stories heard from tellers, ranging from the well-known Birbal stories to the less-known specifically regional tales, with an insight into the culture and philosophy of the time or the community to which it belongs.’
