Greatest Folk Tales Of Bihar
Nalin Verma . Rupa Publications India . English
There are human skulls speaking to men. There are demonesses falling in love with their prey. There is a jackal pretending to be a priest and a donkey that goes beyond his duty. These are stories from the soil of Bihar, from the land of Bhojpuri and Maithili-stories that have traversed centuries and created a catalogue of oral wisdom.
