About the Book TIMELESS TALES FROM THE HEART OF KASHMIRWOVEN 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 its 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 discoveror rediscovera rich storytelling tradition. Let the tales unfold. Let the stories take root. Because in the end, we are all made of stories. About the Author When shes not writing (sometimes, in her head) or performing as a storyteller, Vinita Zutshi will be cooking up twisty puzzles or reading, which is how shes published twenty-two books. Her abiding interest in all things children and parenting fuels her. To know more, visit www.vinitazutshi.com.
