The Panchatantra fables are believed to have been compiled in India in the third century BCE, and then carried around the globe to the Middle East and through Greece to Europe, influencing many collections in many languages – Kalilah and Dimnah, The Thousand and One Nights, Arabian Nights, Aesop's Fables, Fables of Bidpaiand Grimm's Fairy Tales, to name a few.
Tulika's PANCHATANTRA series retells the stories bilingually in Hindi and English, with fresh perspectives, unexpected twists and delightfully adapted folk-style illustrations. Books included in this set are
- The musical donkey
- The talkative tortoise
- Four frieds
- The rabbit in the moon
- The snake and the frogs
- The lion and the fox
