Selected and translated by Kavita Ram Shrestha of Nepal and edited by Sarah Lamstein, the 15 stories range in tone from the playful "King Silly and Minister Sloppy" to the haunting "Uttis Tree." Tales are supplemented by color photographs; line drawings; and an introduction to the history, geography, and culture of the country. A generous bibliography leads readers to further resources.
