Description

Brian Gleeson (au); Kurt Vargo (il). “I give you assurances,” cried the Tiger to the Brahmin (a religious leader in India). “I shan’t eat you if you let me out of the cage.” But when the credulous Brahmin makes the mistake of taking the Tiger at his word, he discovers that the ferocious beast intended to eat him all along. In the end, it is the lowly Jackal who comes to the Brahmin’s aid & teaches him a lesson he had never found in his holy books. Gleeson’s masterful adaptation of this beloved Indian folktale is brought to life in Vargo’s surreal & colorful pictures. On the accompanying audio cassette, renowned actor Ben Kingsley creates an impeccable cast of Indian voices. The classical Indian musical score is by the world-famous master of the sitar, Ravi Shankar.
