Ten Timeless Tales

India’s top ten best-loved animal fables come to life in a new and lively collection by Bittie Mithal.

Superb colour illustrations by Premola Ghose accompany the stories of how the monkey manages to escape being a crocodile’s breakfast, the crows escape from the hungry black snake, how the merchant’s beautiful parrot finally finds her freedom, and how even the king of the elephants needs the help of the smallest creatures sometimes.

This beautiful collection makes perfect read-aloud bed-time stories for younger children, and a gift to treasure for children starting to read for themselves.
