Puffin Classics - the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child.

Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation, including this magical edition of Tales from India.

A collection of 20 stories from India's rich folklore heritage. From wicked magicians to wise old priests, charming princes and beautiful princesses, to greedy tigers and wily jackals, these magical tales are full of adventure and trickery, and infused with deeper messages about morality, life, and the world around us.

Founded on the work of folklorist Joseph Jacob, and from tales from India's Mughal period, award-winning author Bali Rai's lively retellings are a delight for readers of all ages.
