Folk Tales occupy an important place in Tibetan literature and often enrich the genre with their flavour and originality. But folk tales have remained unwritten and unrecorded. As such these fascinating tales have remained stored in memories and were transmitted orally from generation to generation. In the process a folk tale undergoes numerous changes both gaining and losing a lot of its flavour. They are delightful nevertheless and never cease to surprise us with their store of princesses and witches: dogs and demons and mirgos intermingled in an innocently evil world of their own. It is only in exile that Tibetans have taken up the important task of recording and documenting the many faces of Tibetan civilisation including the folk tales.
Translated directly from oral narration into English by a Tibetan the significant purpose of introducing readers to the fascinating world of Tibetan folk culture.
