Bumbling flying elephants, the demon serpent, a brash peacock,
crafty jackals, a curious leopard, and even an evil, shape-shifting
jinn, all make an appearance in this delightful collection of tales
from India. Beautifully illustrated and imaginatively retold, Birds
and Beasts, takes the reader on a fantastical journey into the wild
and wonderful world of magical beasts and whimsical animals. These
tales are drawn from classic texts, such as the Hitopadesha, the
Kathasaritsagara, the Puranas, and the Quran. They include oral
tales from Ladakh, Assam, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, and
tribal folklore as well. Sourced from classic texts and collections
of folk tales that date as far back as the 11th century, the
stories range from the unusual to the familiar and bound to stir
the imagination of every child. This title is the second in a
series - the first being Mischief & Magic, a collection of
magical tales from across India.
