Description:
Twenty-five years in the making, this anthology of centuries-old folk tales from the villages of South Asia recreate the oral traditions of old. Treat yourself to 27 old-fashioned short stories of kings, princesses, fools, wisemen, talking animals, treacherous villains, and unlikely heroes. Plucked and distilled from the anthropological literature, these tales hearken to a simpler time and faraway places, when old and young alike were entertained by fireside storytellers who wandered from village to village to ply their yarn-spinning trade. Duration - 2h 33m. Author - Raywat Deonandan. Narrator - Raywat Deonandan. Published Date - Wednesday, 07 January 2026. Copyright - © 2024 Raywat Deonandan ©.
