In Himachal Pradesh storytelling is a way of life. Everyday conversation is replete with anecdotes, tales and meta-phors.
This collection of short stories trans-lated from Hindi (different dialects of Pahari) presents ten noteworthy stories that are likely to appeal to a reader encountering literature from this hill state for the first time as well as to the reader who is familiar with the culture of the western Himalaya.
This book presents powerful and moving stories of Himachal Pradesh which provide an insight into the cultural traditions, social structure, religious beliefs, and the hardships of the hill people in its many colours and flavours. The stories are a window into the very homes and imagination of the people of Himachal..
