Filled with serpent kings, long lost lovers, magical birds and seductive witches, The Legend of Himal and Nagrai is an enchanting collection of folk tales from a land as beautiful as it is misunderstood-Kashmir.
In the title story, the serpent king Nagrai takes on human form to be with his one true love-the princess Himal. But despite Nagrai's warnings, when Himal doubts her lover's origins, all hell breaks loose. Will the star-crossed lovers ever be together?
In 'Akanandun', having pined for a son for years, a couple is finally blessed with a beautiful boy-but on one diabolical condition. Will the couple be able to keep their word?
In 'Shikaslad', a pauper goes on a quest to awaken his luck, which has been 'asleep' for years. Will he recognize good luck staring him in the face?
These and twenty-six other delightful folk tales-painstakingly collected and retold by the author-bring to light the immensely rich, multicultural and largely undocumented tradition of storytelling in Kashmir. At a time when Kashmiri voices are being brutally silenced by an authoritarian state, this book is a vibrant tapestry celebrating Kashmiri life-in the words of its people.
