The drum folktale from india book free download

In this enchanting collection of India's timeless folktales retold by bestselling author Anupa Lal, dauntless women catch thieves, argue with high-handed kings, outwit presumptous rats and deal with dangerous demons. A friendless crocodile, a timid mouse and a vain fox are among some of the eccentric characters that appear in this book.

There is also a clever princess, a hapless priest with heron feathers flying out of his mouth, and galleries of rogues. Strange happenings are not uncommon, so a nail tree grows out of nail clippings and a beetle saves a man from the dungeons. Full of the details of everyday life, festivities and food, these ageless stories have seldom been so exciting and such fun.

Accompanied by Uma Krishnaswamy's brilliant illustrations, this book will introduce the magic of Indian folktales to a new generation of readers. Indian Children's Favorite Stories is a charming selection of eight Indian tales that provide an insight into traditional Indian culture.

They make perfect new additions for story time or bedtime reading. Retold for an international audience, the beautifully illustrated stories will give children of all ages a glimpse into the fables and folklore of India, including tales of how Lord Krishna escapes the evil Kamsa's repeated attempts to kill him, and how the elephant keeper's daughter, Rani, humbles an unwise and unjust king by emptying his storehouses of rice.
