Storybook Plan

A lot of the information from my Topic Research was pretty spot on, so at the risk of being redundant:

Story Sources

  • The Jataka, Vol. II by W.H.D. Rouse (link here) for the Story of Kama-Vilapa-Jakata
  • Tales of the Sun; or, Folklore of Southern India by Kingscote and Sastri (link here) for the Brahman Girl and the Tiger
  • The Panchantra by Bidpai (link here) for the Mouse Who Was To Marry the Sun, along with a Chain Anthology (link here)


Each story will be an episode, and they will either be told from Kama's point of view, or possibly by a nameless narrator who can connect that story and what Kama does for it. These will be separate stories, but linked by Kama and probably the same storytelling styles.

The main idea would be how Kama influences love (or lust, according to some translation,) and I would like to convey how much of an impact love makes in every story.
