Dyriske fabler herfra og derfra

Resumen

Beastly Tales is a 1991 collection of ten fables in poetry written by Vikram Seth.
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. In his version the loser, being a celebrity, is fêted and the winner ignored.
