In quest of Indian folktales : Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube and William Crooke

"[A] rare piece of scholarly detective work."--Margaret Mills, Ohio State UniversityIn Quest of Indian Folktales publishes for the first time a collection of northern Indian folktales from the late 19th century. Reputedly the work of William Crooke, a well-known folklorist and British colonial official, the tales were actually collected, selected, and translated by a certain Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube. In 1996, Sadhana Naithani discovered this unpublished collection in the archive of the Folklore Society.
