“Pack this for cousins abroad who know Cinderella better than Birbal. Its paisley-patterned, folk-art pages feel like a little piece of home to unpack far away.”
Fearsome tigers, a dancing goat and a very clever courtier named Birbal.
Illustrated Stories from India is a richly illustrated collection of traditional Indian tales, retold for young readers.
Expect brave heroes, battles and grand feasts, with mighty gods and goddesses and greedy elephants along the way. In Indra's Curse, we meet Thintha and his beautiful wife Kalavati, who is an apsara. Elsewhere, a run of Akbar and Birbal stories shows the emperor testing his quick-witted courtier, including a tricky question about crows.
Why children love it
- Jewel-bright paisley pages, like the pink, flower-filled opening of Indra's Curse.
- Folk-art pictures, such as Akbar and Birbal watching crows wheel around a tree.
- Numbered Akbar and Birbal chapters, such as Birbal and the Thief, that are easy to read one at a time.
