Tibetan Folk Tales

The little stories in this book Tibetan Folk Tales are as handed down from father to son, from mother to daughter, and though often filled with their superstitious beliefs, through them all run a vein of humor and the teachings of a moral truth which is quite unexpected. These tales were gathered by Dr. A. L. Shelton on his trips among the Tibetans, around their camp-fires at night, and in their black tents high up in the mountains. Contains a New Preface from scholar Solomon James. Tibetan Folk Tales is a lively, enchanting, and timeless read.
