This volume, Tales Told By The Kathaakaar, is the first in a set of collections covering indigenous tales from Central and Southern Asia. Tales Told By The Kathaakaar traces the arc of storytelling across countries that we are familiar with such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. In particular, this volume also reaches deeply into the ancient Indian tradition of storytelling, which is an absolute delight.
