A clever princess and a prince who returns from the dead.
Transcribed by Indian and English folklorists in the nineteenth century, these stories brim with wit and magic. Fans of fairy tales will encounter familiar favorites--epic quests and talking animals--alongside delightful surprises--an irreverent sense of humor and an array of bold, inspiring heroines.
