Originally published in 1906, Hippocrene Books is pleased to bring this unique collection of folk tales from Simla, once the summer capital of India under British rule, back into print. Collected by the author at the beginning of the twentieth century, these tales and legends from the villagers of the Himalayas introduce the reader to a world of enchantment and delight--with brave Rajahs, beautiful princesses, talking animals, lush jungles, virtuous Brahmins, and magicians and witches unlike any in other fairy tales. Eight illustrations by the author add to the charm of the collection.

This anthology features love poems by classic poets and authors such as Francois Villon, Louise Labe, George Sand, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Eluard, and Jacques Prevert. The side-by-side English translations make these treasures of the French poetic patrimony available even to readers with little or no knowledge of French.
