Description:
Grandmother’s Tales is a captivating collection of thirty Assamese folk stories, translated into English from Burhi Aair Sadhu, the timeless work of Lakshminath Bezbaruah first published in 1911. These tales blend original narratives with beloved Assamese folklore, featuring shape-shifters, clever animals, and resilient characters who navigate fate, magic, and the mysteries of life.
From a kite raising a human child to a stepdaughter defying destiny and a girl entering an unexpected marriage with a python, each story is rich with cultural heritage and deep wisdom. Faithful to their Assamese roots, these translations retain the charm and moral depth of the originals, making them a delightful read for all ages.
Whether you are revisiting childhood memories or encountering these stories for the first time, Grandmother’s Tales offers a timeless journey into the heart of Assam’s storytelling tradition—where wit, wisdom, and the magic of folklore come alive across generations.
