Information About
Engaging and enchanting, this book will provide a rare insight into the traditional values of these ancient cultures. Embodying lessons on morality and the triumph of justice over trickery and lies, many of these fables centre around animals, from tigers and monkeys, to tortoises and foxes. Portrayed as cunning and ruthless, as well as wise and shrewd, these animals personify many human qualities and attest to the Mongolians' and Tibetans' long cultivated understanding of human nature.
