Nepali Lokkatha

The book collects 122 popular folk tales of various castes living in different parts of Nepal and Nepali-speaking people living outside Nepal. Author, Collector, and Editor Tulasi Diwasa says, “This book has been compiled and edited for more than a decade at the tough time during the Panchayat period. In this book, I have tried to make scientific analysis and classification of folklore based on the theories of world-famous writers and thinkers on the basis of location, caste, class, language, etc. ”
Local folklore, love, and folklife are depicted in folk tales on cultural, historical, social, exhortation, deceit, greed, miserliness, betrayal, animal, ghost, demon, fairy, magic, divine, bravery, and other subjects.
In the age of increasing modernity and mechanisation, this book of folklore will help the reader to go back to one’s past and understand primordial history.
