Indian Children's Favorite Stories is a charming selection of eight Indian tales that provide an insight into traditional Indian culture. Retold for an international audience, the illustrated stories will give children of all ages a glimpse into the fables and folklore of India, including tales of how Lord Krishna escapes the evil Kamsa's repeated attempts to kill him, and how the elephant keeper's daughter, Rani, humbles an unwise and unjust king by emptying his storehouses of rice. A glossary is also included, so that everyone can understand and appreciate the Indian words scattered throughout the stories.

Munna and the grain of rice -- The birth of Krishna -- No ordinary lad -- The story of Raman -- Journey to heaven -- The foolish man.
