AUTHOR’S PREFACE.
Reading edition
Most of the articles collected in this little book have appeared in the “Daily Gazette” or the “Times of India.” They are reprinted with the kind permission of the Editors. I do not claim for them any merit beyond the fact that they touch the fringe of an unexplored country. My hope is that they will lead others more competent than I am and with greater opportunities than I have had, to delve into the vast treasures of folklore possessed by the Province of Sind.
The four Guzarati stories have been added, because although they come from a different part of India, they are still folk tales and belong to the same category as the Sind tales. I am indebted to Mr. Amritlal Chunilal, Vakil of Kapadwanj, for the originals of the Guzarati stories.
