- Abstract
- en_US Forty-four stories get one -- and often more -- partial-page black-and-white designs each. The stories are mostly standard Aesopic offerings. The book is a solid inexpensive paperback. I found several in the series while I was in the Oxford Bookstore in Kolkata. This copy is marked down 10 rupees as an introductory offer. There is a T of C for the numbered stories at the beginning. Almost all are familiar stories, even when told with some variations. Several, e.g., "Friendship of the Owl and the Swan" (90) and and "Brainless Donkey" (93), are variants of stories appearing in other books in the series. New to me are "Palms Without Hair" (21), "The Clever Prince" (100), and "The Sage and the Snake" (137). "The Greedy Man" (43) has a man walking an extra kilometer time after time to get a cheaper coconut. It turns out that the cheapest coconut is the one he brings down from the tree, but he suffers multiple injuries in a fall. The bear of the usual tale about smashing a friend's head to kill a fly here is a monkey bodyguard for a king (128).
