A little about the story
A kindly white elephant, a cheeky blackbird general with a thorn for a sword, a wise queen and many more: these are old tales from India, many of them from the Jataka stories, retold for children.
Georgene Faulkner was known as The Story Lady and told stories on the radio, and these tales have the warmth of being told aloud.
