Indian Fairy Tales
Joseph Jacobs (editor) · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Kevin Stillwell
68/100
👎 Skip It
Joseph Jacobs' 1892 scholarly compilation of Indian folk fables is a respectable, public-domain pick, heavy on clever-animal trickster tales and folk morality. The Victorian-era framing shows its age a bit, and there's not much detail available on the production itself. Kevin Stillwell reads it straight through in a steady, unfussy style — fine for the material, nothing flashy.
