About the Book

ONE WORLD, MANY STORIES

Author Shobha Tharoor Srinivasan, an award-winning voice-over artist, has been gathering tales for children from her travels and exchanges across the world. The result is a rich collection of fables, folktales, legends and myths from Kerala and Japan, from the continent of Africa and from the Native American communities. The mix is eclectic, and includes lesser-known gems as well as familiar classics like the Jataka Tales and Aesop's Fables.



A Treasure Trove of Timeless Tales is the ideal bedtime read for children and their parents or grandparents. Ready then to drift off to lands far and near, and explore the magic of timeless tales, vibrant cultures, intelligent animals, funny characters, colourful townsfolk, cool gods and smart kids?
