A Dog’s Tale and Jungle Stories – Premchand

Description

‘A Dog’s Tale’ and ‘Jungle Stories’ are some of Premchand’s creations for children. Full of humour, emotion, instances of loyalty and surprise, these stories showcase the skill of a master craftsman of words. Presented here in a new translation, these tales remind us of earlier, simpler, times and of an innocence that childhood retains. Through these narratives of bonding with animals and closeness to nature the writer evokes memories of a world that was, and to which we can travel through the magic of reading.
