Earth Tales: Folklore about India's Nature, Wildlife and Environment

The folk stories of India are often told by people who live close to the land. In them, mountains, forests, birds and animals are as much characters as the humans themselves.

In this delightful collection are tales from every state and union territory, told by the many tribes and communities that call India home. All the stories are gorgeously illustrated in -traditional art styles derived from areas in which the stories originate. And in reading this book, we not only celebrate the colour and diversity of the country we live in, but also the age-old challenges and bonds that bind us to nature and to one another.
