Publisher's Note
Oral tales establish relationships between storytellers and their listeners. Yet most printed collections of folktales contain only stories, stripped of the human contexts in which they are told. In this innovative book, Indian-American anthropologist Kirin Narayan reproduces twenty-one folktales narrated in a mountain dialect by a middle-aged Indian village woman, Urmila Devi Sood, or 'Urmilaji.' In dialogue with Kirin Narayan, Urmilaji Sood supplements her tales with interpretations of the wisdom that she perceives in them. In turn, Kirin Narayan sets these tales within a larger story about the joys and ironies of undertaking research in a village that is also home to her American mother.

Industry Reviews
Narayan (anthropology and South Asian studies, Univ. of Wisconsin; Love, Stars and All That, LJ 9/15/93) has produced a unique volume of folktales from a village in the foothills of the Himalayas. The collection functions on several levels. First, the 21 stories told by Sood ("Urmilaji") are divided into women's ritual tales and winter tales, including narratives of a dog-girl and a princess who marries a lion. Second, within and around each tale are comments from Urmilaji and her family as well as explanations of local customs and mores. Third, the author's scholarly and personal journey during her work with Urmilaji informs the whole. It tells of the growing affection between the two women and establishes Narayan's theme that "stories arise out of relationships, they are about relationships, and they forge relationships." An excellent work; recommended for all folktale collections. Katherine K. Koenig, Ellis Sch., Greensburg, Pa.
