Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Folk Tales There was once an old woman who was very poor. All her children were dead and she had but one grandchild, a young boy. These two dwelt apart from the rest of the tribe, and, as they had almost nothing of their own, they lived upon the scraps and leavings of others. Sometimes mocking tongues would jibe at them, saying: "Here are those whose moccasins and robes are the rags which we have thrown away." At these words the eyes of Katit, the boy, would flash with rage, but his grandmother would droop her head in silence. One day the tribe moved to another and a better place where there was much game, and Katit and his grandmother followed the trail far in the rear. "What is that?' asked the old woman, pointing to something which was lying among the bushes on one side of the trail.

Download or read book Indian Nights Entertainment written by Charles Swynnerton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Nights' Entertainment: Or, Folk-Tales From the Upper Indus; With Numerous Illustrations by Native Hands In publishing the following stories, it is not needful to write much by way of introduction. As translations from the Panjabi of the Upper Indus, they are as literal as idiom and freedom of expression would permit. Their collection and compilation were the work of years, bringing solace in trouble and respite from the weariness of the long glowing days of summer in that hottest of all hot places, the Peshawur Valley. As folk-tales they claim of course the highest possible antiquity, being older than the Jatakas, older than the Mihabhirata, older than history itself. From age to age, and from generation to generation, they have been faithfully handed down by people rude and unlearned, who have preserved them through all the vicissitudes of devastating wars, changes of rule and faith, and centuries of oppression. They are essentially the tales of the people. They are truly representative of the quaint legends and stories which form the delight of the village hujra or guesthouse on winter-nights, when icy winds are blowing over mountain and plain; when the young men of the village community gather round the blazing logs to be charmed by the voice of some wandering minstrel, to listen agape to his incredible descriptions of the miseries and the joys of hapless love, or to fantastic tales of giants and fairies; or when the weary wayfarer, if not too spent to sit up, alternates the recital of fictitious wonders by news from the outer world, or commands the attention of auditors as simple as himself, by circumstantial accounts of disastrous chances of his own by flood and fell.

Download or read book Tales of the Sun written by Mrs. Howard Kingscote and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of the Sun, Or Folklore of Southern Indian is a collection of twenty-six classic Indian fables as told to author Georgiania Kingscote. This collection marks the first time many of these tales were ever published, and certainly the first time they were published in English. With the assistance of co-author Pandit Natesa Sastri, Kingscote makes these fables accessible to a western audience for the first time. While these stories will be new to most readers, there is a thread of familiarity that runs through each tale presented in this collection. For while these tales were born and developed in India, they include the universal themes that make up all good stories: good versus evil, love versus hate, life versus death. In her introduction, author Kingscote does note one peculiarity, "namely, that craft and cunning are more generally rewarded than virtue, and stupidity condemned. This is the national characteristic." The collection of stories included in Tales of the Sun are mostly entertaining. Standouts include The Soothsayer's Son, The Lost Camel, and The Beggar and the Five Muffins. While not every tale is a hit, and the lessons of some can seem outdated to the modern reader, Kingscote has been largely successful in her presentation of illuminating fables from Indian culture. Any lover of children's fables will enjoy this collection. It provides the reader with the rare opportunity to read new stories that will seem comfortably familiar. The Tales of the Sun, Or Folklore of Southern Indian is recommended reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Folk Tales: Being Side-Lights on Village Life in Bilaspore, Central Provinces It is generally found that most Of the primitive peoples are exceedingly reticent as to their beliefs and practices. In order to gain anything like an accurate understanding of their most inward thoughts it is necessary to reside amongst them for a long while, and watch them when they do not know that they are under Observation. According to an English proverb, It is in sports and journeys that a man is known. SO in order to understand the real India - the India Of the villages - it is necessary not only to live amongst the peasants of that land from year's end to year's end, through hot and cold and rainy weather, through sunshine and shadow, but also to speak with them in their own dialect, and understand the exact signifi cance Of their most common words both in work and play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hindu Fairy Tales: Retold for Children The J ataka, of which the tales in this volume are well-chosen examples, are among the most ancient heritages of human civilization. No human art is probably older than the art of story-telling. Before primitive man ever thought of fashioning his first stone axe, long before he ever conceived the possibility of scratching picture messages upon hard sur faces, he must have developed skill in narrating not only the happenings of his own day, but also the events of past time as they were handed down to him by tradition.
