Tales of the Sun Or Folklore of Southern India is a collection of traditional stories and legends from the southern region of India, compiled and retold by Mrs. Howard Kingscote. The book features a variety of tales, including myths about the origins of the universe and the gods, stories of heroic warriors and cunning tricksters, and legends of love and betrayal. The narratives are rich in cultural and historical details, offering a glimpse into the beliefs, customs, and values of the people of southern India. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian folklore and mythology, and is written in an accessible style that makes it suitable for both scholars and general readers.1890. Further research would probably reveal more hidden treasures of Hindoo folklore; but this small collection of tales will doubtless suffice to throw light on Indian tradition, and to bring forward the natural peculiarities of the Hindoos as well as the assimilation of the folklore of different nations, an assimilation which the author maintains results from the teaching propensities of each country and not from appropriation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
