by W. H. D. ROUSE (1863 - 1950)

Preface

This is the second collection by this author of charming folk tales from India. The first collection is entitled The Giant Crab (Librivox audio here). Parents or those in loco parentis should be aware that as in all folk literature, in addition to humor and wisdom, here is some degree of suffering and death. These tales may not be suitable for the very young. (Summary by david wales)
