Book Description
A book of Fairy Tales for children. In her preface, the author explains how these stories are her own adaptations of fairy tales that originated long ago in India, then travelled to the east, Mongolia, Tibet and Russia. Their endurance as stories helped her to decide that (with some modifications) they would appeal also to western children.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wonder Tales From Tibet The Siddhi-kur is a strange and mysterious creature! He is so old that we cannot even guess at his age, and he has traveled so many leagues from the land that originally produced him that we really do not know how much of him is as he was, and how much of him has been changed by time and place. Dusky little boys and girls in faraway India, long, long ago, were the first to listen to the stories that gathered around the figure of the Siddhi-kur, tales of wonder and magic which always ended with the hint of another, even better one to follow. Then from India, still in the unknown long ago, wandering tribes, or perhaps occasional single travelers, carried the stories into the highlands of Tibet.

Book Description
Throughout most of its history, Tibet has been dominated by lamaseries. Consequently the majority of Tibetan literary works are strongly marked by Buddhist thought. The Tibetan genre of children?s folktales is no exception. The "Wonder Tales" in this demure volume are most definitely Tibetan Buddhist classics, and the Buddhist influence in these charming stories is both colorful and strong. Whether you enjoy reading about the adventures of the witty and humorous mango tree inhabitant, the Siddhi-kur, or prefer reading about the secret behind "The Promise of Massang," these wise tales will not only entertain you and your family, but will also impart the wisdom and wit of ancient Buddhist teachings.

Book Description
It is found among the old, old histories of the Tibetans that a female demon living among the mountains in Northern India mated with a monkey from the forests of Tibet, and from this union sprang the Tibetan race of people. The greater part of their literature is of a sacred nature, telling of their creation, of the formation of the world, of Buddha and his miraculous birth and death, of his reincarnations and the revisions of his teachings. A kind of almanac, a little astronomy, plans for casting a horoscope, and many books filled with religious teachings and superstitions, including the worship of devils and demons, are about all that can be found. The 49 little stories in this book are told as the people sit around their boiling tea made over a three stone camp-fire. They are handed down from father to son, from mother to daughter, and though often filled with their superstitious beliefs, through them all run a vein of humor and the teachings of a moral truth which is quite unexpected. These tales were gathered by Dr. A. L. Shelton on his trips among the Tibetans, around their camp-fires at night, and in their black tents high up in the mountains. Every country has its folk-lore tales that have always been a joy and pleasure to the children, not only of their own land, but of other lands as well. May these stories add a little to this pleasure and enjoyment everywhere, in whatsoever tongue they may be translated or in whatever land they may be read. Flora Beal Shelton 1925
