Description
Book Description:
"Tibet is a land of mystery and mysticism that has for centuries hidden itself from the outside world. Tibetan folktales are steeped in mystical imagery and give the fertile imagination plenty of scope to work and for this reason they have always attracted a vast audience.
The author, A L Shelton, collected the fifty tales in this book from wandering herdsmen of the trans-Himalayan regions of Tibet as they sat around their campfires at night. As such, they reflect the true culture and psyche of the Tibetan people.
Whether you are old or young, the stories in Tibetan Folk Tales will fascinate and entertain you time and time again. As with all Eastern tales, Tibetan folktales have deeper meanings that may not be immediately understood and you can ponder over each tale and discover deeper and hidden meanings under the surface."
