Deccan Nursery Tales

The Deccan culture is in the south of India, which you might know, but I hadn't realized before I started reading this. The tales were Westernized slightly in the transcription. Kincaid says he only removed things that were too culturally or religiously specific for an English audience, but I have my doubts about that being the only stuff removed. Still the tales are well written and fun to read.

The stories are child-friendly, and generally have children as protagonists , either explicitly or implied by how they were referred to even when I'm not sure they were supposed to be children (lots of 'little daughter-in-laws' towards the end of the book).
