About This Item

London: Bodley Head, 1984. 310 pp, 9 5/8" H. B&w illustrations. "This collection of Indian folk tales was made by an Englishwoman who went to India with her husband in 1867 and lived there for twenty-two years. The stories, almost all taken from the oral versions of local storytellers, were compiled with a 'double intention' - to interest children and to provide material for those studying folklore - and her collection still fulfills both these aims admirably. The simple, lively tales are excellent for reading aloud and are of particular appeal for parents, teachers and librarians seeking stories for children accustomed to Eastern traditions." Interior - very small crease at top corner of pages 1 to 30 otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - two small corner creases, light soiling/browning to bottom of text block, small bump at bottom of front hinge, small crease at bottom edge of rear cover. . Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good -. Illus. by David Gentleman..
