About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Indian Story Book by Richard Wilson. Read in English by Anusha Iyer; SK; Kate Follis; Siva Shashank; MacKenzie Nikol Greenwood Richard Wilson has taken tales from the two great Indian epics, the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata, as well as other early sources, and has retold them in English, in an effort to showcase to young English-speaking readers that 'oriental' stories share the same elements as tales they are used to. Love, hate, virtue, oppression, tenderness, bravery and resourcefulness and an ultimate desire to conquer evil. - Summary paraphrased from the Introduction
