A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Kashme as a field ofF olk-lore literature is, perhaps, not surpassed in fertility by any other country in the world; and yet, while every year witnesses the publication of books on the subject from Bengal, Bombay, Madras, Panjab, and other parts; and while each successive number ofT he Indian A ntiquary, Indian Notes and Queries, and latterly I%e Christian College Magazine and The Indian Evangelical Review, presents to us articles more or less relevant, this field, ripe for the harvest, has remained almost ungleaned. No doubt its isolated position and the difficulty of its language have had something to do with this apparent neglect. I am the more glad, therefore, to have availed myself of the opportunities afforded me through a four years residence in the valley. The vocation of a missionary brings one into close and constant touch with the people, from whom, as I glide along in the boat, or walk by the way, or squat in the hut, or teach in the school, I have learnt many things. My primary object in collecting these tales was to obtain some knowledge of Kashmi rf, which is a purely colloquial language ;my secondary object was to ascertain something of the thoughts and ways of the people.
