	Journal of Folklore Research - Book Notes
		Blackburn notes that specific kinds of folktales are distinguished in Tamil by their contents, although these usages are neither regular nor universal.
		Blackburn realizes that tales are told by all age groups, although more commonly by people over 30; almost equally by men and women, with a slight majority of women; within all social groups and castes, though more commonly in villages and towns than in cities.
		Blackburn's methodically organized collection of tales serves as a valuable document of a culture and lifestyle, and should be a highly recommended reading for everyone interested in Indian narrative art.

	Reviews: The folktale as mirror – who is most just of all?
		Blackburn further suggests that although the adventures and incidents depicted by these folktales might seem largely fanciful at first glance, their real preoccupation is with very down to earth social concerns.
		Blackburn argues that many of the seemingly other-worldly or “unrealistic” stories which describe talking birds, kings with magical swords, transformed identities etc., actually provide convenient moral foils, and are used both by tellers and by members of the audience, to stimulate thinking about human ethics.
		Blackburn’s knowledge of the language and his appreciation of the local culture is evidenced both in the quality of the translations provided and by the rich descriptions he provides of tellers’ individual performances.
