درخت شکوفه‌دار و دیگر داستان‌های شفاهی از هند: آ. ک. رامانوجان؛ ویرایش شده با مقدمه‌ای از استوارت بلک‌برن و آلن داندس

This book of oral tales from the south Indian region of Kannada represents the culmination of a lifetime of research by A. K. Ramanujan, one of the most revered scholars and writers of his time. The result of over three decades'labor, this long-awaited collection makes available for the first time a wealth of folktales from a region that has not yet been adequately represented in world literature. Ramanujan's skill as a translator, his graceful writing style, The personal depth of 'A Flowering Tree' both characterizes this book and separates it from Ramanujan's 1991 collection, which presented 'a selection of oral tales from twenty-two languages' in India. Most of those tales were chosen from printed sources, some from the nineteenth century, and from translations of other collectors past and present.
