Bhombal Dass - The Uncle of Lion: A Folk Tale from Bangladesh


Ashraf Siddiqui - 1959
    One day while roaming in the forest, he sought shelter in a cave, and that cave was the home of a fierce tiger. How the goat out-witted the tiger and saved his own life, some of the wise meanings of an Aesop tale but with unusual overtones of rare humour and rollicking laughter.This will be a wonderful read-aloud book, with its merry prose and singing rhyme.
