'''''Beastly Tales''''' is a 1991 collection of ten fables in poetry written by [[Vikram Seth]] (UK {{ISBN|978-0-7538-1034-7}}, also US {{ISBN|978-0-7538-0774-3}}).<br/>
Its full title is '''''Beastly Tales from Here and There''''' and, in the introduction, Seth states
"the first two come from India, the next two from China, the next two from Greece, the next two from the Ukraine. The final two came directly to me from the Land of Gup".

Seth's sense of humour is exemplified by his retelling of the well-known fable of [[The Tortoise and the Hare|The Hare and The Tortoise]] (p. 43). In his version the loser, being a celebrity, is feted and the winner ignored.
