The tales presented are drawn by the compiler from two collections. Santhal tales collected by P. O. Bodding (most of them written down by Sagram Murmu, one of the first literate Santhals). Gondi and related tales are collected by V. Elwin in eastern Madhya Pradesh (translations were made from the original Chhattisgarhi and partly from Gondi). Thus, by selecting primarily that material which most clearly reflects the specificity of the spiritual and material life of the Santhals of the Igonds, a quantitatively small but representative proportion of Central Indian folklore is given. The publication is addressed to folklorists, culturologists and all those interested in world folklore.
