Donald Alexander Mackenzie was a Scottish journalist and folklorist and a prolific writer on religion, mythology and anthropology in the early 20th century.

This book deals with the myths and legends of India, which survive in the rich and abundant storehouse of Sanskrit literature. It introduces to the various sacred works of the Hindus. The ancient forest sages and poets of India invested the legendary themes and traditional beliefs with beautiful symbolism and used them as mediums for speculative thought and profound spiritual teaching.
