The Illustrated Indian Story Book

Richards Wilson's stories are drawn primarily from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as other sources, and also recount the legend of Buddha's life. They are an English classic aimed at young people and therefore simplify the stories. This gives them their fascinating fairy-tale quality without losing the deeper content, and makes them suitable for any audience.

73 color illustrations and 5 in black and white illustrate the mythological tales while offering a selection of works of high artistic quality such as those of famous painters such as Frank Chayne Papé, Raja Ravi Varma, Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi and others.
