This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Fairy Tales as Told to the Little Children of the Wigwam N the long ago when the red men were the free and undisturbed occupants of this vast continent, one of their greatest pleasures was to repeat the won der-stories dear to the hearts of their people. When they had gathered around the crackling logs in the long winter evenings, or had stretched themselves on the grass under the starry skies of summer nights, old and young would listen in silent delight to the tales of mythical heroes who, they fondly believed, once dwelt on this earth and were far stronger and wiser than mere mortals. But these were not all. As the red children looked upward at the stars shining down upon them so brightly and lovingly; or as they turned their eyes upon the sparkling waters of the stream or lake; they fancied them alive with other and strange beings who had a charm and magic of their own. These, too, were woven into the tales to which they listened with eagerness and delight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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.

Download or read book How Ganesh Got His Elephant Head written by Harish Johari and published by Bear Cub Books. This book was released on 2003-10-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magical story of how Ganesh, the son of Shiva and Parvati, was brought back to life with the head of an elephant • The story of one of the most beloved characters in Indian lore, made accessible for Western children • Illustrated throughout with paintings from the classic Indian tradition Any Indian child can tell you how the beloved god Ganesh got his elephant’s head--now American children can know as well. For centuries Indian children have grown up hearing Ganesh’s story--how his mother, Parvati (an incarnation of the great mother goddess), created a small boy from sandalwood soap and commanded that he guard the palace against all intruders while she took her bath. How her husband, Shiva (the fearsome god of destruction), didn’t take kindly to being barred from his own home. How Shiva beheaded the boy during the cosmic war that followed, but then, when he realized that the balance of the entire universe was at stake, brought the boy back to life by grafting an elephant’s head onto his body and made him the people’s intercessor against the powers of destruction. Ganesh’s timeless story teaches children about the steadfast power of dedication to duty, the awe-inspiring power of a mother’s love for her child, and the gentle power of compassion, which holds the world together. Accompanied by rich, color illustrations prepared according to the traditional Hindu canon, How Ganesh Got His Elephant Head will transport children to a magical world filled with ancient wisdom.

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.

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.
