A New Work on Indian Folk-lore.
A NEW WORK ON INDIAN FOLK-LORE.
It is intimated that a work dealing with the earliest fairy tales of the
aboriginal peoples of Central India is almost ready for publication, and
when it is stated that the author-compiler has given more than twenty
years to this one work, its scope may be imagined as unique.
Most singular specimens of the folk-tales, taken down from the mouths
of the people and at last practically preserved in manuscript, are contained
in the book.
Internal evidences point to the authenticity of these stories, whilst
there are similarities between them and European folk-tales which are
truly striking.
The author-compiler is Mr. Hugh Raynbird, junr., of Garrison Gateway,
Old Basing, Basingstoke, Hants, who for some years was a resident in
India, and has applied himself ceaselessly to the study of these fairy tales
and their close connection with the tales of other countries. He has been
assisted in his researches by his wife—Asa Lakra—an aboriginal, and with
out doubt the greatest Gammer Grethel of the present day.
We hope the compiler will obtain numerous subscribers for this interest
ing work, “The Folk-Tales of Cobraland.” It is expected that it will be
ready in the early autumn, and application should be made to the author as
above.
