Answer 2

The Story of Little Black Sambo, a children's book by Helen Bannerman, a Scot living in India, was first published in 1899. In the tale, the little boy has to sacrifice his new red coat and his new blue trousers and his new purple shoes to four tigers, including one that wears his shoes on his ears, but Sambo outwits these predators and returns safely home, where he eats 169 pancakes for his supper. The story was a children's favorite for half a century before it became recently controversial in certain countries due to the word sambo. The story takes place in a fairy tale India with Caribbean elements, with the tigers racing around the tree are turned into ghee, rendered as "butter" and the humans eating inhuman quantities of pancakes.

Answer 3

The book is still available at bookstores - I work at Borders and we carry it.
