Indian Tales and Legends
No Customer Reviews
This is a book of contrasts: there are simple folk-tales about cats, mice and tortoise, about a tiger of very great cunning, and a jackal who dyed himself blue. There are strange legends of ten-headed demons, of rogues and villains, of splendid kings ruling from jeweled thrones, the air round them heavy with the scent of flowers. And at the heart of the book is the great Indian epic, The Ramayana: the marriage of Rama and Sita, the loss of Sita, and of how the monkey god Hanuman went in search of her. "For as long as mountains shall endure and the streams flow, so long shall the story of Rama be current among men."
