Book Synopsis Indian Fairy Tales by : Joseph Jacobs
Download or read book Indian Fairy Tales written by Joseph Jacobs and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the extreme West of the Indo-European world; we go this year to the extreme East. From the soft rain and green turf of Gaeldom; we seek the garish sun and arid soil of the Hindoo. In the Land of Ire; the belief in fairies; gnomes; ogres and monsters is all but dead; in the Land of Ind it still flourishes in all the vigour of animism. Soils and national characters differ; but fairy tales are the same in plot and incidents; if not in treatment. The majority of the tales in this volume have been known in the West in some form or other; and the problem arises how to account for their simultaneous existence in farthest West and East. Some—as Benfey in Germany; M. Cosquin in France; and Mr. Clouston in England—have declared that India is the Home of the Fairy Tale; and that all European fairy tales have been [viii]brought from thence by Crusaders; by Mongol missionaries; by Gipsies; by Jews; by traders; by travellers. The question is still before the courts; and one can only deal with it as an advocate. So far as my instructions go; I should be prepared; within certain limits; to hold a brief for India. So far as the children of Europe have their fairy stories in common; these—and they form more than a third of the whole—are derived from India. In particular; the majority of the Drolls or comic tales and jingles can be traced; without much difficulty; back to the Indian peninsula.

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 332 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.
