Great collection of Tibetan Tales with illustrations and active Table of Contents for kids and adults.From the Preface:It is found among the old, old histories of the Tibetans that a female demon living among the mountains in Northern India mated with a monkey from the forests of Tibet, and from this union sprang the Tibetan race of people. The greater part of their literature is of a sacred nature, telling of their creation, of the formation of the world, of Buddha and his miraculous birth and death, of his reincarnations and the revisions of his teachings.A kind of almanac, a little astronomy, plans for casting a horoscope, and many books filled with religious teachings and superstitions, including the worship of devils and demons, are about all that can be found.The little stories in this book are told as the people sit around their boiling tea made over a three stone camp-fire. They are handed down from father to son, from mother to daughter, and though often filled with their superstitious beliefs, through them all run a vein of humor and the teachings of a moral truth which is quite unexpected.These tales were gathered by Dr. A. L. Shelton on his trips among the Tibetans, around their camp-fires at night, and in their black tents high up in the mountains.Every country has its folk-lore tales that have always been a joy and pleasure to the children, not only of their own land, but of other lands as well.May these stories add a little to this pleasure and enjoyment everywhere, in whatsoever tongue they may be translated or in whatever land they may be read.FLORA BEAL SHELTONTable of ContentsONE: The Wise BatTWO: The Tiger and the FrogTHREE: The Cony Who Got Into Bad CompanyFOUR: The Story of the Donkey and the Rock.

Tibetan Folk Talesby A.L. SheltonA collection of folk tales and proverbs from Tibet, good reading for both children and adults."Tibet is a land of mystery and mysticism that has for centuries hidden itself from the outside world. Tibetan folktales are steeped in mystical imagery and give the fertile imagination plenty of scope to work and for this reason they have always attracted a vast audience.The author, A L Shelton, collected the fifty tales in this book from wandering herdsmen of the trans-Himalayan regions of Tibet as they sat around their campfires at night. As such, they reflect the true culture and psyche of the Tibetan people.Whether you are old or young, the stories in Tibetan Folk Tales will fascinate and entertain you time and time again. As with all Eastern tales, Tibetan folktales have deeper meanings that may not be immediately understood and you can ponder over each tale and discover deeper and hidden meanings under the surface."

It is found among the old, old histories of the Tibetans that a female demon living among the mountains in Northern India mated with a monkey from the forests of Tibet, and from this union sprang the Tibetan race of people. The greater part of their literature is of a sacred nature, telling of their creation, of the formation of the world, of Buddha and his miraculous birth and death, of his reincarnations and the revisions of his teachings. A kind of almanac, a little astronomy, plans for casting a horoscope, and many books filled with religious teachings and superstitions, including the worship of devils and demons, are about all that can be found. The 49 little stories in this book are told as the people sit around their boiling tea made over a three stone camp-fire. They are handed down from father to son, from mother to daughter, and though often filled with their superstitious beliefs, through them all run a vein of humor and the teachings of a moral truth which is quite unexpected. These tales were gathered by Dr. A. L. Shelton on his trips among the Tibetans, around their camp-fires at night, and in their black tents high up in the mountains. Every country has its folk-lore tales that have always been a joy and pleasure to the children, not only of their own land, but of other lands as well. May these stories add a little to this pleasure and enjoyment everywhere, in whatsoever tongue they may be translated or in whatever land they may be read. Flora Beal Shelton 1925
