Description
Excerpt from Folk Tales From Tibet: With Illustrations by a Tibetan Artist and Some Verses From Tibetan Love-Songs, Collected and Translated
IN presenting these little stories to the public, it may perhaps be of interest if I describe how I came by them.
During two years Spent in Tibet, at Gyantse, Lhasa, and elsewhere, I have made many friends amongst all classes of Tibetans - high and low, rich and poor - and have conversed with all sorts of persons upon all sorts of topics. In the course of my wanderings I learned that there exists amongst this fascinating and little known people a wealth of folk-lore, hitherto inaccessible to the outside world, and I made efforts to collect as many of their stories as I could.
