About this ebook
Joseph Jacobs
Joseph Jacobs (1854–1916) was a noted folklorist, critic, and historian who gained fame compiling English folktales. Born in Sydney, Australia, Jacobs completed his studies at the University of Cambridge. His career began with a post as the secretary of the Society of Hebrew Literature. Work with Jewish literature and history became a principal pursuit in his life, and he eventually became president of the Jewish Historical Society of England, a revising editor of the Jewish Encyclopedia, and editor of the American Hebrew. In 1890 Jacobs began releasing collections of English fairy tales in a mission to give English children homegrown stories to read in addition to the more traditional French and German fairy tales.

Reviews for Indian Fairy Tales - Illustrated by John D. Batten
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really liked these fairy tales! Although there were some strange terms (and also I believe some strange translations; Jogi I assume is Yogi for example), at the heart many of these stories are very similar to European fairy tales. Evil queens using magic or trickery to get rid of innocent children (unsuccessfully), talking animals who return good deeds, princes going on quests; what I think of as the standard fairy tale but in an Indian setting so jungles and tigers instead of forests and bears.
I skipped the Notes at the end but if one is interested in the origins or history of these tales, it would be of interest.
