The Ecological Tales from India series is the first ecological series of its kind. So far, environmental tales have been written with the point of view of the naturalist who uses the vehicle of a good story to impart conservation messages or teach ecological concepts. With the Ecological Tales from India series, it is the environmental anthropologist who uses the powerful medium of storytelling to introduce children to the all-important traditional ecological knowledge developed by India's traditional people over many hundreds of years of intimate interaction with the natural world.
