Tales From The Hitopadesha: Classic Indian Stories

About the Book

A VIBRANT COMIC RETELLING OF HITOPADESHA-INDIA'S TIMELESS FABLES OF WIT, WISDOM AND WONDER, WITH A MORAL TWIST.
Hitopadesha, literally meaning 'Book of Good Counsel', is a timeless collection of fables and moral tales from ancient India. Written in Sanskrit by Narayan Pandit around the ninth or tenth century CE, these stories of wit, courage and wisdom continue to inspire even today.
Featuring both animals and humans, the tales hold universal truths that never fade. Sometimes funny, sometimes dark, they explore friendship, strategy, leadership and morality through unforgettable characters-a lion luring his prey, a vulture blinded by pride, a fearless woman chasing a mysterious sound.
Retold with sharp text and vivid illustrations, this comic edition brings ancient wisdom to life-fresh, engaging and full of insight for today's readers.
