Indian Children's Favorite Stories

This colorfully illustrated multicultural children's book presents Indian fairy tales and other folk stories-providing insight into a rich literary culture. Indian Children's Favorite Stories is a charming selection of eight Indian tales that provide an insight into traditional Indian culture. 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 the 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. "They are interesting stories about the history of life in India. They take us on a journey so that each story almost flows onto the next like a chapter book, but each story can also be read in any order. Some stories help explain the Indian culture, and other stories have a moral to learn." - Castle View Academy blog
