book description

A collection of 20 stories from India's rich folklore heritage. From wicked magicians to wise old priests, charming princes and beautiful princesses, to greedy tigers and wily jackals, these magical tales are full of adventure and trickery, and infused with deeper messages about morality, life, and the world around us. Founded on the work of folklorist Joseph Jacob and from tales from India's Mughal period, award-winning author Bali Rai's lively retellings are a delight for readers of all ages.

The book includes endnotes with a glossary, additional information, as well as ideas for activities that children can do to explore the stories further.
