Indian Fairy Tales, collected and retold by Joseph Jacobs and published in 1892, brings together folk stories from the Indian subcontinent. Drawing from sources such as the Panchatantra and oral traditions, these tales include clever animals, wise kings, brave children, and magical beings. With moral lessons, humor, and rich cultural settings, the collection introduces Western audiences to the depth and variety of Indian storytelling. It’s a valuable anthology for both folklorists and young readers alike.
