Tinni Pinni Chinni by Shailja, Santosh

Folk tales are expressions of the vibrant life of people – their feelings, aspirations and sense of humour. Their source is not a writer’s pen but the people themselves. They are the offsprings of those wise villagers who live life in a very natural way just like the nature around them. Similar is the case with these folk tales from Himachal Pradesh. These embody the simple villagers where romance, humour, cleverness hero-worship etc. reside and find expression in stories that bring smiles as well as tears to the readers. In fact, their utmost contribution is towards humour in life and their rustic touch is wonderful. A must read book for people of all age.
