About the Book
TIMELESS TALES FROM THE HEART OF KASHMIR—WOVEN WITH WIT, WISDOM, AND A TOUCH OF MAGIC!
Kashmir is the land of legends, rich in lore and folktales that are as unique as they are universal. In Folktales from Kashmir, Vinita Zutshi brings together eighteen of these stories passed down the generations but seldom heard beyond the valley.
Within these pages, foolish kings, clever tricksters and ambitious old women rub shoulders with jaded jackals, daring daughters and unlucky thieves. Whether it’s the tale of someone whose greed gets the better of him or a bald man outwitting a gang of robbers, these are stories where wisdom hides within wit and everyday life is woven through with magic.
Beautifully designed in four colour and richly illustrated by Charbak Dipta, this collection invites readers young and old to discover—or rediscover—a rich storytelling tradition.
Let the tales unfold. Let the stories take root. Because in the end, we are all made of stories.
