Description:In 1891, at a time when the study of India was primarily based on ancient texts, coins, and material remains, William Crooke dared to focus on "living" India--its everyday culture, age-old customs, and fictional narratives. With Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube, he recorded and published, over a period of six years, a remarkable collection of folktales from northern India.The tales reflect the tapestry of social and personal lives of this region, the epicenter of a revolt against British rule in 1857.
