About The Book

For centuries Rajasthan has been a gold mine of oral traditions and histories with Padma Shri Vijaydan Detha being one of the foremost storytellers of all time. Timeless Tales from Marwar gives a new lease of life to his folk tales. It is a hand-picked compilation from the much-celebrated Batan ri Phulwari--'Garden of Tales'--a fourteen-volume collection written over a span of nearly fifty years. Retold in Detha's magical narrative style complete with imagery this selection offers some of the oldest and most popular fables from the Thar Desert region. Discover tales of handsome rajkanwars evil witches exploitative thakars miserly seths clever insects benevolent snakes and more. Vishes Kothari's vivid English translation introduces one of the most venerated figures in Rajasthani folk culture to a wider audience.
