In Indian Fairy Tales, Joseph Jacobs delves into the rich tapestry of Indian folklore, exploring its profound influence on European fairy tales. This captivating collection reveals the shared plots and incidents that transcend geographical boundaries, suggesting that India is the cradle of many beloved stories. 


Jacobs presents compelling arguments supported by scholars like Benfey, Cosquin, and Clouston, who trace the migration of these tales through historical exchanges involving Crusaders, missionaries, traders, and travelers. 


The book not only entertains with whimsical drolls and jingles but also invites readers to ponder the deep-rooted cultural connections that unite East and West. A treasure trove for folklore enthusiasts, Indian Fairy Tales illuminates the timeless and universal appeal of these enchanting stories.
