Also in the Amar Chitra Katha classics series

The Amar Chitra Katha Folktales Collection brings together some of the greatest folktales in the Amar Chitra Katha catalogue. These folktales are a celebration of the great collective inheritance from our past generations and aim to bring the reader closer to the thoughts and traditions that make up our country’s identity.

The first set in this series includes Buddhist Stories, Tales of Wit and Wisdom and Funny Folktales.

A king who can’t stop thinking about food; a carpenter who spends days, years, decades, working on a single piece of furniture; a disciple who hates his name and other such characters — all of whom turn their life around through Buddha’s wisdom.

A wonderful collection of stories filled with the wisdom, joy and simplicity that makes the tales of the Buddha so popular world-over.

A jackal who tries to trick his friends, but gets outsmarted instead; a tiger who is unaware that the creature he fears is actually himself; a cat and a rat who find that they are better off as friends than enemies and other such funny folktales.

A collection of hilarious stories that will have you in stitches and give you hours of rib-tickling fun!

A kingdom’s choicest fools gather at court; a young man makes a fortune from a dead mouse; a barber helps measure the earth with bullock carts and other such incredible tales of wit and wisdom.

A delightful collection of stories of the witty Birbal from Akbar’s court, Tenali Raman from Krishnadeva Raya’s Vijaynagar Empire and Gopal Bhand from Raja Krishna Chandra’s court in Bengal and many more!
