Beastly Tales
Beastly Tales from Here and There is a 1992 collection of ten fables in poetry written by Vikram Seth. In the introduction, Seth states,"The first two come from India, the next two from China, the next two from Greece, the next two from Ukraine. The final two came directly to me from the Land of Gup."
"The Tortoise and the Hare" depicts Seth's sense of humour. In his version, the loser, being a celebrity, is feted and the winner ignored.
"The Frog and the Nightingale" is a fable about a nightingale who gets singing lessons from a frog while the frog tries to commercialize her voice.
Poems from the book have been performed by Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak, Heeba Shah, and Kenneth Desai.
