Tales from India

By Shakuntala Devi Chitrapu and Prabhakar Krishnaswami

Tales of India, a translated collection, are fables that have indisputable truths embedded in them. With animals as their characters, they appeal with their message to all ages and cultures across.A story like "The Lioness and the Cow "debates the differences that we struggle to understand and accept. "The Cat and the Rooster," "The Crocodile and the Monkey," "The Fox and the Cranes" and "The Fox and the Goat" reveal the nature of the world and how might is the right. "The Duck- king and the Peacock" and "The Emperor and the Monkey" teach that pride leads to fall, but wisdom and modesty result in success. While "The Swan and the Woman" reveals that greed brings grief, "The Wood-cutter and the Lion" teaches gratitude and not thanklessness yield rich rewards. "The Deer and the King and "The Monkeys and the King" inculcate in readers the values of kindness and leadership.Reading stories such as these with moral values at a young age, children will develop proper attitudes to life and the world around.
