Review :
"...very interesting and innovative ... Taylor's study has provided us with a new angle for methodology that will ensure the continuous progression of our field of study." - Journal of Asian Studies "This is a fine piece of scholarship. Nothing like this exists for the Indian folklore tradition. McComas Taylor presents the multifaceted significance of the Pancatantra, which is possibly the most popular book within India. The stories from this collection spread across the world, so this book is also significant for the global study of folktales." - Patrick Olivelle, translator and editor of The Pancatantra: The Book of India's Folk Wisdom
