Pomegranate Princess

In many parts of the world today, tales of magic and wonder, princesses, and giants are found only in books. But in the villages of India, such stories can still be heard - told by mothers and grandmothers to children in peasant huts and ancient palaces and recounted to a gathering of villagers. It was in settings such as these that the tales collected in this book were recorded by Edward Hower in the mid-1980s. The fourteen tales in this collection are eloquent reflections of the great cultural traditions of India and stories that can bring enchantment to audiences anywhere.
