A Children's Classic June 23, 2008
I can't decide who loved this book more, me or my children! Together we have read many of the stories over and over again.
This is a book that is both insightful and fun. The stories are simple and straightforward but also carry deeper meanings and significance.
Plus the illustrations are a bonus! They paint a rich and descriptive picture of the Indian subcontinent.
"Damayanti and Nala," the love story was my favorite.
Well done Nanji.

Review By: Diana Rohini LaVigne, Indian Life & Style Magazine
Vibrant. Alluring. Brilliant. Indian Tales by Shenaaz Nanji and illustrated by Christopher Corr is a phenomenal collection of daily life stories from different regions of India. Each section takes on the personality of the region and brings forward the colors and imagery from that region's lifestyle and legends.
Together the collection of stories weave a beautifully written work of art that will delight children and adults alike. From the tale of the young drummer boy named Gopal to the royal narrative about the princess Damayanti, Indian Tales delivers a book filled with information, poetry and culturally-rich images that promise to enchant adolescent readers.
It is a book that begs to be read and reread over and over again. Nanji does a superior job winning the interest of readers and keeping them coming back from more. Readers will explore deeper into the regions with each read and images will continue to reinforce the information learned. Indian Tales is an important piece of cultural literature and should be on the top of wish lists for schools and libraries around the global.
