Book Discussion & Reading. Beastly Tales from Here and There / इधर उधर के जंगली क़िस्से by Vikram Seth. Publisher: Speaking Tiger Books. Translated by Mohini Gupta, in conversation with Sampurna Chattarji. Since they were first published in 1992, Vikram Seth’s glorious animal fables in verse have delighted young and old alike. Familiar characters in a magical new form—like the tortoise who outran the hare and the monkey who outwitted the greedy crocodile—take their place beside a freshly minted gallery of brilliantly quirky, comical creatures.
