Tales of the Punjab

Tales of the Punjab: Folklore of India by Flora Annie Steel, with illustrations by J. Lockwood Kipling. "A book that will be welcomed no less eagerly by the children than by students of folklore from a scientific standpoint is Mrs. Steel's collection of Indian stories, entitled ' Tales of the Punjab.' They were taken down by her from the very lips of the natives in some of the most primitive districts in India. Yet these tales, handed down solely by word of mouth from one generation to another, could hardly be distinguished from those in a Teutonic collection like that of the Brothers Grimm; and even closer examination serves only to impress upon us more strongly than ever before the unity of the great Indo-European family of nations." - Nashville Banner. "The stories of this collection will not only amuse the juveniles, but as unwitting revelations of the roots of Hindoo character and customs, they would secure the attention of a Darwin." - Christian Leader.
