Indian Children’s Favourite Stories is a charming selection of eight Indian tales that provide an insight into traditional Indian culture. They make perfect new additions for story time or bedtime reading. 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 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.

A glossary is also included, so that everyone can understand and appreciate the Indian words scattered throughout the stories. The Children’s Favourite Stories series was created to share the folktales and legends most beloved by children in the East with young readers of all backgrounds in the West.
