This is another book from India that we enjoy at our home. This one is published by Karadi Tales.
The Monkey King & The Blue Jackal - Folktales in Folk Art
The folk art illustrations in this book are brilliant. The book actually has a small description of the types of artworks used. The first story 'The Monkey King' has a combination of folk arts called Cheriyal, Mithila and the other story 'The Blue Jackal' has Warli painting inspired artwork.
There is also a brief description in the book about Jataka and Panchatantra from where the stories hail from.
I have fallen in love with the illustrations in this book, especially the Warli artwork in the Blue Jackal story. Its stupendous.
