Earth Tales: Folklore About Indias Nature, Wildlife And Environment by The Centre For Contemporary Folklore [Hardcover]

This is a rich collection of Indian folk tales drawn from every state and union territory of India, representing stories from the country's diverse tribal and cultural communities.

The collection highlights how closely traditional Indian storytelling is connected with nature and everyday life. Mountains, forests, birds, and animals are not merely settings or background elements—they often play roles as important as the human characters.

Alongside the stories, the book features traditional artwork inspired by the regions from which the tales originate, making it a celebration of India's cultural, artistic, and linguistic diversity. Through these stories, readers encounter universal themes such as human relationships, community, nature, survival, values, and the enduring bond between people and the natural world.
