Soils and national characteristics differ, but fairy tales are the same in plot and incidents the world over. So proved the leading British folklorist Joseph Jacobs (1854-1916) with this now classic volume of 29 traditional tales from India, including some of the oldest recorded tales known.""The Lion and the Crane,"" ""How the Raja's Son Won the Princess Labam,"" ""The Broken Pot,"" ""The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackal,"" ""The Talkative Tortoise,"" ""The Ass in the Lion's Skin,"" ""Why the Fish Laughed,"" ""Sun, Moon, and Wind Go Out to Dinner,"" ""The Prince and the Fakir,"" and all the other stories make delightful reading or listening for youngsters who are tired of the same familiar old favourites. John D. Batten's nine full-page plates and his 37 other drawings are reproduced from the original edition.
