Download or read book Tales of the Punjab Told by the People written by Flora-Annie Steel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Punjab, Told by the People Many of the tales in this collection appeared either in the Indian Antiquary, the Calcutta Review, or the Legends of the Punjab. They were then in the form of literal translations, in many cases uncouth or even unpresentable to ears polite, in all scarcely intelligible to the untravelled English reader; for it must be remembered that, with the exception of the Adventures of Raja Rasalu, all these stories are strictly folk-tales passing current among a people who can neither read nor write, and whose diction is full of colloquialisms, and, if we choose to call them so, vulgarisms. It would be manifestly unfair, for instance, to compare the literary standard of such tales with that of the Arabian Nights, the Tales of a Parrot, or similar works.
