Everything about Beastly Tales totally explained
Beastly Tales is a 1991 collection of ten fables in poetry written by
Vikram Seth (UK ISBN-13: 978-0753810347, also US ISBN-13: 978-0753807743).
Its full title is
Beastly Tales from Here and There and, 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 the Ukraine. The final two came directly to me from the Land of Gup".
Seth's sense of humour is exemplified by his retelling of the well-known fable of
The Hare and The Tortoise (p.43). In his version the loser, being a celebrity, is fêted and the winner ignored.
