Excerpt from Folk-Tales of the Khasis
Of some of the stories there are several versions current in the country, - sometimes conflicting versions, - but this in no way diminishes their charm. In such cases I have selected the version which appeared to me the most unique and graceful, and seemed to throw the truest light on the habits and the character of this genial and interesting Hill race.
Several of these tales have been published by me from time to time in The Statesman of Calcutta, by whose courtesy 1 am permitted to reproduce them in this volume.
