Summary: Excellent Sri Lankan additive tale
Comment: The Quail's Egg is an additive tale i.e. each line is repeated and another added as in This is the House that Jack Built. This tale is particularly good for telling to small children as they enjoy chiming in with "NO" each time the quail asks for assistance.

In addition, the tale comes from South Asia - an under-represented area in our children's folktale knowledge. However, none of the regional aspects of the story or the illustration is ever outside the knowledge of the intended audience.
