Gathered by William Crooke during his ethnological survey of the North-West Provinces and Oudh, some from the jungle peoples of Mirzapur, these tales were retold for young readers by W. H. D. Rouse. Clever jackals, vengeful sparrows, a talking thrush, a monkey and a rabbit and a camel left behind by a caravan play out short, witty fables.
