Tales of the Sun Or Folklore of Southern India

Tales of the Sun, or Folklore of Southern India is an 1890 collection gathered by Georgiana Kingscote (died 1908), an Englishwoman in British India, with the Tamil scholar Pandit Natesa Sastri. The book brings together South Indian folk tales of kings, demons, clever wives, and talking animals, among the earliest such collections in English. It belongs to the late-Victorian folklore movement that prized the oral tales of the world. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
