Synopsis
On these pages we meet adventurous princes, romantic princesses, wily peasants, tricky animals--and an abundance of monsters, "djinns," gods, goddesses, and powerful magicians. In colorful, exotic settings reminiscent of "The Arabian Nights," brave heroes and virtuous heroines triumph over the forces of evil, often with fantastical or comic results.
These folktales, collected orally in the desert state of Rajasthan in 1986-87, are eloquent reflections of the great cultural traditions of India, and are stories that bring enchantment to audiences everywhere.
