This collection brings together a wide variety of Nepali myths and folk tales rooted in various cultures, regions and oral traditions of Nepal. The authors have done an excellent job of collecting and presenting the tales in simple and succinct manner. The tales represent the worldview and beliefs, as well as rhythms of everyday living of various Nepali communities. I think lovers and researchers of folk tales will find a rich fund of original material in this collection. – Prof. Cr. Sanjeev Uprety
