Tales and Legends from India by Ruskin Bond
Here are tales from different parts of the country, from followers of different faiths; stories of kings and commoners, tribal people and townsmen. Included in this collection are stories, painstakingly culled and thoughtfully crafted, from the Mahabharata ("Shiva's Anger' and "Shakuntala'); the Jataka ("The Hare in the Moon' and "The Crane and the Crab') and from regional folklore ("The Tiger-King's Gift' and "The Happy Herdsman').
