Book Synopsis Indian Fairy Tales by : Joseph Jacobs
Download or read book Indian Fairy Tales written by Joseph Jacobs and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales for Children, From India These Indian tales which were collected from Asia in the early 20th century are very different from the Grimm's and Aesops tales you may have been familiar with. The folklore of India compasses the folklore of the nation of India and the Indian subcontinent. The subcontinent of India contains a wide diversity of ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. Since it is different from other fairy tales, one may need to shift and adjust the perception and look at these from a different angle. This, of course, is a very good pursuit for your child early on, in the quality of adjusting oneself to different cultures and understanding different perceptions or points of view. What sets this classic book apart from the rest is the Notes and References you have at the end of the book. Here the author has done extensive research on these stories and has traced how the various stories popular in the western world have their roots in the Indian folklore. Every story has an explanation and commentary really giving the reader an understanding of its significance. It is a very well researched collection and a good read for fairytale enthusiasts. A cross-pollination between Indian and Western fairy tales. Some stories, among the 29, are worth revisiting, as they are entertaining, enlightening and engaging. A good mix of fables with animals and human characters. The stories are rich with talking animals and insects that casually interact with humans, which the author explains (again in the Appendix, so you may want to read that first) fits easily with Hindu and Buddhist ideas of reincarnation. Trivia: Fairy tales are found in oral and in literary form; the name "fairy tale" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century. Many of today's fairy tales have evolved from centuries-old stories that have appeared, with variations, in multiple cultures around the world Book Chapters Preface 1 I. The Lion and the Crane 4 II.

Download or read book INDIAN FAIRY TALES written by Various and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils and national characters differ, but fairy tales are often the same in plot and incidents, if not in style. Most of the 27 illustrated tales in this volume of Indian fairy tales are known in the West in some form or other; how can we account for their simultaneous existence in both Europe and Asia? In this volume we find stories about Punchkin, the evil magician, and the quaint myth: "How Sun, Moon, and Wind went out to Dinner," the magic fiddle, the broken pot, the tiger, the Brahman, the Jackal, and more. In short, Jacobs has made this book a representative collection of all the fairy tales of India. Some have declared that India is the home of the fairy tale, and that all European fairy tales have been brought from thence by crusaders, Mongol missionaries, Gypsies, Jews, traders, and many other travellers. After all, India is on one branch of the fabled Silk and Spice Routes, over which Europeans and Asians have been travelling for several millennia. We should be prepared, within certain limits, to hold a brief for India. The common fairy stories of the children of Europe, which form a greater part of their stories as a whole, are derived from Indian tales. In particular, the majority of the Drolls, or comic tales and jingles, can be traced without much difficulty back to the Indian peninsula. To assemble this volume, Jacobs has selected the best from the Jatakas, the Bidpai, the Tales of the Sun, the Baluchi folk-tales, and the folk-tales of Kashmir. It is only a further proof that fairy tales are something more than Celtic or Hindoo-they are human. So curl up with a sliver of the Indian sub-continent and lose yourself in a culture and lifestyle of the ancient, Eastern past.

Book Synopsis Best Loved Folk Tales of India by : Pranab Chandra Roy Choudhury
Download or read book Best Loved Folk Tales of India written by Pranab Chandra Roy Choudhury and published by Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd. This book was released on 1999-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is a treasure-trove of folktales born out of the customs and traditions of the country. Sometimes these tales are retold in its different regions, while imparting the local flavour to them. The mobility of the folktales can be attributed to the pilgrims and travellers journeying from one part of the country to another. They rested at night in dharamsalas or inns, often attached to temples, where they mingled among themselves and with the local people. More often than not, folktales are passed on from grandmother to grandchildren so vividly that they are impressed in the listener's memory forever. They are delightful and fascinating to the young as well as the old. The same story even when heard repeatedly does not lose its interest as it appeals to the fantasies, the make-beliefs and the primitiveness in us. These beautiful folktales of India were on the verge of extinction when a project of compilation of 21 volumes consisting of folktales of different regions was launched by Sterling. These folktales have been gleaned from the larger collection.
