In the fables of the East, and especially of India, there is one peculiarity, namely, that craft and cunning are more generally rewarded than virtue, and stupidity is condemned. This book of tales of Southern India is as varied as any other, either Eastern or European. The stories show that supernatural phenomena play a great role, but are usually assisted by the powers of the gods. This small collection of tales will throw light on Indian tradition and bring forward the natural peculiarities of Hindus.
