About this listen

Twenty-five years in the making, this anthology of centuries-old folk tales from the villages of South Asia recreate the oral traditions of old. Treat yourself to 27 old-fashioned short stories of kings, princesses, fools, wisemen, talking animals, treacherous villains, and unlikely heroes. Plucked and distilled from the anthropological literature, these tales hearken to a simpler time and faraway places, when old and young alike were entertained by fireside storytellers who wandered from village to village to ply their yarn-spinning trade.

"Folktales of Ancient India" by Raywat Deonandan is a beautifully crafted anthology that transports listeners to the heart of South Asia’s rich oral storytelling tradition. Carefully curated over twenty-five years, these 27 folk tales capture the essence of an era when wisdom, wit, and wonder were shared by fireside storytellers traveling from village to village.

The stories are filled with kings and princesses, wise sages and fools, talking animals, and cunning villains—each tale carrying timeless lessons and a deep cultural resonance. What makes this audiobook even more compelling is that it is narrated by the author himself.
