Description
Dadubhai loves to tell stories about tigers and forests. After all, he has roamed
around the forests of India for years. In Grandfather's Tiger Tales, he relates some
hair-raising stories about tigers-both real ones and those from myths and
legends.
In one, a tiger decides to drop in as a guest during a cricket match, sending
both the cricketers and the audience into panic. In another story, while
a fearsome storm rages in the Sundarbans, a man and a tiger take refuge
together in a little hut. He also narrates the legend of Bon Bibi, the saviour of
the people of the Sundarbans and her battle with the fearsome tiger-adversary,
Dakshin Ray.
Riveting and entertaining, these tales bring alive the tiger's majesty and
beauty, while also showing young readers the importance of learning to
respect animals in the wild.
