Review of "Fables from India" by Uday Mane

Book: Fables from India

Writer: Uday Mane

Available at: Flipkart

"Fables from India" by Uday Mane is a book, which will get you nostalgic to boot. I got this book as part of the "Flipkart Book Review Program."

The book will single-handedly remind you of your childhood days and the various bedtime stories of Kings, Princes and Castles that you read as a child in the night, till you were forced to switch off the light by the parents and admonished for being up so late. All the kings and their various kingdoms with their own eccentric characters will come alive in your world again.

This book is a collection of 22 short stories and it begins with a poem, which showcases the creative talent of the author, to boot. All in all, it is a good book for teenagers and for nostalgic adults. 

Each story is simple and the plot is quite straight-forward, many times. It is not at all for all those readers who are looking for a twist in the tale or for a more complex plot. Each story has a simple message, which would appeal to all those readers who are interested in mythology and want a trip to their lovely and innocent childhood.

It is a good gifting option for pre-teens and teens who are mostly unaware of the Indian mythology and want to learn more about the traditional times, instead of the Harry Potters to which they are accustomed to. The writing is simple and has clarity, which benefits their target audience immensely.
