Beastly Tales from Here and There - that's the title of the book. Do tell me how you liked it
Book description: "From the impish to the brilliantly comic, Vikram Seth's animal fables in verse can (like Diwali sweets) be enjoyed by young and old alike. Familiar characters in a new and magical form, such as the greedy crocodile who was outwitted by the monkey or the steady tortoise who out-ran the hare, here take their place beside a newly minted gallery of characters and creatures who are quirky, comical and always fun. Of the ten fables told here, two come from India, two from China, two from Greece, two from the Ukraine, and two, as the author puts it, 'came directly to me from the land of Gup' "
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can track it down.
