Soils and national characteristics differ, but fairy tales are the same in plot and incidents the world over. So proved the leading British folklorist Joseph Jacobs (1854–1916) with this now-classic volume of 29 traditional tales from India, including some of the oldest recorded tales known.

John D. Batten's nine full-page plates and his 37 other drawings are reproduced from the original edition. Less
