BEASTLY TALES FROM HERE AND THERE (HARDCOVER) ( ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAVI SHANKAR)
Familiar characters in a magical new form. . . like the tortoise who outran the hare and the monkey who outwitted the greedy crocodile. . . take their place beside a freshly minted gallery of brilliantly quirky, comical creatures. Of the ten fables told here, two come from India, two from China, two from Greece, two from the Ukraine and two, the author tells us, directly from the land of Gup. NOTE ; This is the Viking Penguin Edition with illustrations by Ravi Shankar
