About the Book: Voices In The Wind: Folktales, Folklore And Spirit Stories From
The Himalaya
The Himalaya has always been a land of folklore, carried across generations in
the voices of its people. Villagers by a bonfire, grandmothers at the hearth
with grandchildren at their knees, wandering bards, fakirs and mystics have all
shaped a vast oral tradition. This is a world where rivers sing, animals speak,
demons and tricksters lurk, and gods walk among mortals. In Voices in the Wind,
celebrated authors Namita Gokhale and Malashri Lal gather this living
inheritance from across the length and breadth of the mountains—Kashmir and
Ladakh, Himachal and Uttarakhand,
