As the term suggests, The Hitopadesha is a collection of tales that gives good counsel. Hitopadesa was presumably written by Narayan Pandit and is an independent treatment of the Vishnu Sarman's Panchatantra (3rd century BC) which it resembles in form.

The cast of characters includes vixen spirits, ghosts, scholars, court officials, Taoist exorcists and beasts. Moral purposes are often inverted between humans and the supposedly degenerate ghosts or spirits, resulting in a satirical edge to some of the stories. Ghosts and spirits are often bold and trustworthy, while humans are on the other hand weak, indecisive and easily manipulated, reflecting the author's own disillusio Consider the Lilies of the Field by Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 14 recordings of Consider the Lilies of the Field by Christina Rossetti.This was the Weekly Poetry project for August 1, 2021. ------Rossetti began writing down and dating her poems from 1842, most of which imitated her favored poets.
