Abstract
There are six stories here and they come from various sources. I took the book without further search because I noticed the blue jackal on the cover and the story listed as fifth among the six. The stories are meant for children ages 5 to 8. Other well-known stories retold here include "Pandora's Box," "Sleeping Beauty," and the story of Damon and Pythias. "Strange Punishment" has an emperor reward the clever counselor who answered his question correctly "How should I punish someone who pulls my mustache?" After predictably forceful suggestions from other ministers, Birbal suggests giving the perpetrator candy. For only the emperor's son would dare to pull his mustache. "Ekalavya" tells of a native boy who becomes a skilled archer under the god's tutelage and is ready to sacrifice himself to have a great teacher. "The Blue Jackal" is nicely, if simply and graphically, illustrated. "Tulip" marks this as one of five books identified by flowers. Next time in India, I must find the other four!
