The Story of Little Black Sambo is a short children's book[1] by Helen Bannerman. Helen was a Scottish national. The book was first published in 1899 and features the hero, Sambo, outwitting a group of hungry tigers to return safely home where he eats 169 pancakes for his supper.
The story takes place in a mythical India and the tigers racing around the tree are turned into ghee, an Indian form of butter.
The story was a children's favorite for many years, but then became controversial in certain countries due to its overt and outdated racial imagery.
Helen Bannerman went on to write many similar books.- ↑ It has only 1,089 words.
