Description
These are stories for children to learn and adults to remember.
The Whispering Mountains: Marvellous Folktales from the Himalayas is a collection of timeless stories passed down through generations―tales shared by grandparents sitting by the fire on cold nights, tales carried by the whispering winds and echoing through the rivers and peaks of the Himalayas.
In these stories, trees and flowers, animals and birds coexist with humans, one story ending as another one begins. The wicked and the good are not as they seem, and magic is always close at hand. Clever women outwit thieves, while fools reveal unexpected wisdom.
The stories hold the teachings of nature and the playful mischief of tricksters, the marvel of creation myths, and the shimmering magic of shapeshifters. Across these regions lie the enduring secrets and strengths of the mountains, with doors that lead to hidden realms and windows which open to wonder.
