Wit and Wisdom of India (Paperback)

,
1924. A collection of humorous folk tales of the court and countryside current in India. One of the objects of studying the folklore of a country is to gain an insight into the primitive characteristics of the people. In India, we have the richest mine of ancient wisdom and an inexhaustible treasure of folklore. Only a few tales were collected to present to the West the lighter side of the country, and by no means does this book pretend to deal with the serious aspect of Indian wisdom.
