The Indian Story Book
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
In Indian Story Book, Richard Wilson retells stories from the Rāmāyaṇa, the Mahābhārata, and other early Indian sources for young English-speaking readers.
These tales bring together love and hatred, oppression and tenderness, bravery and resourcefulness. Their characters face struggles between good and evil, in stories shaped by the myths and traditions of India.
Written as an introduction to Indian storytelling, the collection invites listeners to encounter familiar human conflicts through tales drawn from a different literary tradition.
