Book Synopsis The Tortoise and the Geese and Other Fables of Bidpai by : Maude Barrows Dutton
Book excerpt: Thirty-four animal fables ably retold from the Panchatantra of India. Originally written in Sanskrit, tradition attributes the fables to Bidpai, an Indian sage, who, as legend has it, wrote them to instruct the king in moral wisdom. The king was delighted with the gentle wisdom and humor of the fables, which continue to be enjoyed by children to this day. Attractive black and white illustrations complement the text. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
