Collected in the hill villages around Simla before the earthquake of 1905 drove the author from India, these short tales were completed with help from her sister. They include the lawsuit between the owl and the kite, a monkey who objects to criticism, the origin of death, the real mother, the snake’s bride, the power of fate, a forest witch and a priest and three clever boys.
