Fading Tales of the Deccan - Paperback
by Nasima H. Khan (Author)
Two women's quarrel costs a life and a loss of sanity; A hard working sparrow faces a troubled kinship with her cousin crow; A wily old woman who loves to eat outwits predators in a jungle...
These are three tales from the Deccan Plateau of Peninsular India handed down through generations in an oral tradition. Recalled from an era gone by and sprinkled with happiness, humour and some pain, these tales have been reconstructed to appeal to the modern-day child. Narrated by the Great Peepal Tree, 'Fading Tales of the Deccan' portrays reality and enchantment through prose and children's chants to recall a world that once existed and which children of the future may never likely know.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
