Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hindu Tales
Fter the day's work in the fields, with no light save that of the moon and the stars, the men, women, and children of the little Hindu villages gather for their only recreation - listening to the tales of the village story-teller. Where did this man learn his stories? From some earlier story-teller to whom, as a child, he had listened. Thus from gen eration to generation, wholly by word of mouth, have these stories been passed down, the unwritten literature of a simple, story-loving people. The tales contained in this volume were selected from a large number collected from various sources, and were chosen because they were the favorites of the four little listeners, my self-appointed critics, with whom I shared.
