Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Tales One evening, Just after we were fairly settled in our new cabin, and while we were seated at supper, there appeared in the open doorway one of the oddest-looking creatures imaginable. It was a little old man, with a reddish-gray beard and long, thin hair 'of the same color; and though I was then but a boy ten years old, I can at this moment shut my eyes and recall the image distinctly. The dumpy figure standing for a moment, one foot upon the door-sill, one dirty hand resting on the casing, the greasy, patched, -old wammus, deer skin pants and big beaver cap are still vivid in my recollection. Come in, said my father, as the queer old fellow stood hesitating with a grin upon his face. -come in and have some supper.

Book excerpt: A compilation of love stories and poems from the classical literature and folklore of India Set in regions of great natural beauty where Kamadeva, the god of love, picks his victims with consummate ease, these stories and lyrics celebrate the myriad aspects of love. In addition to relatively well-known works like Kalidasa's Meghadutam and Prince Ilango Adigal's Shilappadikaram, the collection features lesser-known writers of ancient India like Damodaragupta (eighth century AD), whose 'Loves of Haralata and Dundarasena' is about a high-born man's doomed affair with a courtesan; Janna (twelfth century), whose Tale of the Glory-Bearer is extracted here for the story of a queen who betrays her handsome husband for a mahout, reputed to be the ugliest man in the kingdom; and the Sanskrit poets Amaru and Mayaru (seventh century), whose lyrics display an astonishing perspective on the tenderness, the fierce passion and the playful savagery of physical love. Also featured are charming stories of Hindu gods and goddesses in love, and nineteenth-century retellings of folk tales from different regions of the country like Kashmir, Punjab, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Both passionate and sensuous in its content, this book is sure to appeal to the romantic in all of us.

Download or read book Joyful Star written by Emelyn Newcomb Partridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joyful Star: Indian Stories for Camp Fire Girls In this collection of legends, my aim is to present to the reader a picture of the life and the ideals of the Indian maiden and mother as the;r are illustrated in the legends, folk-tales, and a few historical accounts from various tribes and nations of Indians in North and South America. The making of such a collection has proven a much more difficult piece of work than I had anticipated; but it has been most interesting and profitable. This work has opened wide a new world to me; it has filled me with respect and admiration for the Indian woman. It seems that the Indian woman is Wise, is brave, and withal is gentle, modest and affection ate: she is a devoted wife, living her life of labour with quiet cheerfulness: she is a tender mother, training her children with the most pre cise care, infusing into the minds of her young sons the ambition to become the bravest war riors, or the most skilled hunters, and educating her little daughters, from their very babyhood, to fill their place in the tribal life with the great est efficiency. From almost every phase of the Indian woman's life and experience, her white sister may learn lessons of inestimable value. With this thought, I am sending out these legends for the use of Camp Fire Girls and for all maidens who would turn aside for a time from the noisy highway, and follow the quiet trails through the forest, where once walked the Indian maiden with reverent love for the smallest flower at her feet, for it, too, partook of the nature of the Great Spirit, who cared for his children of the forest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manabozho, the Great White Rabbit: And Other Indian Stories To-day people are thinking as they never did before of how priceless are the Spirit and the ancient soil of any nation. Perhaps there could be no more fitting time to bring to young children some thing Of the Spirit of the primitive, fettered, but noble race that held our wide lands before they came to be ours. We teach school children myths that are Grecian and Roman, Celtic and Slavic; it is also important that they Should absorb something of the myths of the North American Indians. The average child thinks of his predecessors on this continent with superiority, possibly with a touch of contempt, as savages. He knows that their civilization was meager, that they were hunters rather than agriculturists, were ignorant of the serene arts that help a race to grow, just as prowess in warfare has SO far always helped to keep a race in possession of its own land. He knows that the Indians were not builders nor musicians nor poets nor painters except in the crudest fashion; that their boats were of the Simplest, their transportation facilities negligible, their commerce quite lacking; that they had no cows, and practically no vegetables except corn.

All around them lived the wild creatures of the woods and fields, and many of their stories were about them. On one side of the tepee fire would sit the tall, black-eyed Indian story-teller, lifting his long arm now and then, as he told stories of Rabbit. Long legs and Big ears these red skinned people called Rabbit, and all the little Indian children loved to hear stories about him. For Rabbit was the leader in all the mischief, the Indians said. The north wind, on a cold night, some times shook the frail tepees. He rattled at the entrance flap, and howled down the smoke hole. So they told stories about him, too. And in the spring, when it thundered, they knew all about the Thunder Birds, because the story-teller had told them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Punishment of the Stingy: And Other Indian Stories In transcribing stories such as these, care must be used to take down just what the nar rator says. The stories must be reproduced as they are told; otherwise they lose that primitive flavor which is often one of their chief charms.

But before the days of Jean Jacques Rous seau, Buffon, and Bernardin de St. Pierre, this love of Nature had not been expressed in all its intensity. Until their day, it had not been written on exclusively. The lovers of Nature were not, till then, as they may perhaps since he considered, a sect apart. Though perfectly sincere in all the adoration they offered, they were less entirely, and certainly less diligently and constantly, her adorers.
