2023BIBHB0005687562023. Hardcover. New. About The Book : ""Tales of the Punjab"" is a collection of folk tales from the region. They are stories handed down orally by a people who mostly could not read or write and Steel tried to preserve the original feel of the tale as closely as possible when translating. Many of the tales in this collection appeared either in the Indian Antiquary the Calcutta Review or the Legends of the Punjab. They were then in the form of literal translations in many cases uncouth or even unpresentable to ears polite in all scarcely intelligible to the untravelled English reader; for it must be remembered that with the exception of the Adventures of Raja Rasalu all these stories are strictly folk-tales passing current among a people who can neither read nor write and whose diction is full of colloquialisms and if we choose to call them so vulgarisms. It would be manifestly unfair for instance to compare the literary standard of such tales with that of the Arabian Nights the Tales of a Parrot or similar works. The manner in which these stories were collected is in itself sufficient to show how misleading it would be if with the intention of giving the conventional Eastern flavour to the text it were to be manipulated into a flowery dignity; and as a description of the procedure will serve the double purpose of credential and excuse the authors give it premising that all the stories but three have been collected by Mrs. F. A. Steel during winter tours through the various districts of which her husband has been Chief Magistrate. About The Author : Flora Annie Steel 1847 �1929 was a writer who lived in British India for 22 years. She was noted especially for books set in the Indian sub-continent or connected with it. Her novel On the Face of the Waters 1896 describes incidents in the Indian Mutiny. Flora was interested in relating to all classes of Indian society. The birth of her daughter gave her a chance to interact with local women and learn their language. She encouraged the production of local handicrafts and collected folk-tales a collection of which she published in 1894. Her interest in schools and the education of women gave her insight into native life and character. A year before leaving India she co-authored and published The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook which gave detailed directions to European women on all aspects of household management in India.
