About the Book
TIMELESS TALES FROM THE HEART OF KASHMIR—WOVEN WITH WIT, WISDOM,
AND A TOUCH OF MAGIC!
Turn the pages of Folktales from Kashmir and get lost in the enchanting world of folktales—where wisdom hides in wit, magic weaves through everyday life, and laughter and lessons go hand in hand!
Vinita Zutshi brings together a rich collection of 15 timeless stories passed down through generations but seldom heard beyond the valley. Meet foolish kings and clever tricksters,cunning jackals and daring daughters, ambitious old women and unlucky thieves—all caught in a whirlwind of adventure, mischief and wisdom.
Whether it’s the tale of a man whose greed gets the better of him, a bald man outwitting a gang of thieves, or a farmer’s unexpected lesson in loyalty, these stories are full of warmth,humour and timeless truths.
Rooted in Kashmir’s storytelling traditions yet universally relatable, this collection rekindles a connection to a culture that, for many, has faded into memory. The author invites readers—young and old—to rediscover the lost echoes of Kashmiri folklore, filling the hollow spaces in our hearts with stories that bring us closer to who we are.
Let the tales unfold. Let the stories take root. Because in the end, we are all made of stories.
