Indian Fairy Tales

Notes

29 tales "selected and edited" by Jacobs, "illustrated" by Batten. In the introduction to his 1892 Indian volume of fairy tales, Joseph Jacobs reprinted and acknowledged {{A|Mary Frere}}'s contribution to these:[8]. Though Indian fairy tales are the earliest in existence, yet they are also from another point of view the youngest. For it is only about twenty-five years ago that Miss Frere began the modern collection of Indian folk-tales with her charming "Old Deccan Days".
