The Magic Lamp and Other Santal Folk-tales
The Folk-Tales of India have been the subject of much study and research, and several interesting collections of them have been published. The folk lore of the Santals, has not received the attention which it deserved. The Santals as a people, have, to a remarkable degree, succeeded in resisting the subtle Hinduising influences to which they have long been exposed, and to which such a large number of aboriginal tribes have succumbed. They have retained their language, institutions, tribal organization and religion almost intact. Their traditions show the jealousy with which these have been guarded.These tales were taken down in Santali at first hand, and are therefore genuine and redolent of the soil. In translating them the author himself allowed considerable latitude without in any way diverging so far from the original as to in any degree impair their value to the student of Indian Folk-lore. This volume of Santal Folk-Tales is offered as a humble contribution to the Folk-lore of India.

The Emperor's First 13
Folktales are the foundation of ancient cultures. They were the stories that attempted to explain why things happened, or tried to convey lessons that needed to be learned. It was this oral tradition and intimate experience that brought people together in the spirit of both education and entertainment. Shengxiao jinian, literally "born resembling the standard year," refers to the Chinese Zodiac. There are many versions of this classic folktale with no particular adaptation being more authentic than the other. Depending on who told the story, different parts were often emphasized or reinvented. This version of the grand race to claim an honorary year within the Asian lunar calendar features an unsung animal - the cat. There is wonder at every moment and wisdom at each animal's finish. Williy Pang is an educator and author who was born, raised, and resides in New York City.

Dragonfly
Maya couldn't quite put into words the feelings she was experiencing as she and her father walked along the tree edge looking for berries and nutrients from the plants. Was it the fact that she had missed the soft, moist earth beneath her feet? She considered that the Universe was guiding her towards a renewed way of living. Twenty-seven-year-old Maya has been released from prison for the third time since she was seventeen, and this time she knows things have got to change. From her family cabin in the woods of Northern Ontario, she starts to process and heal from past wounds. For the first time in her life, she becomes aware of the systemic injustices that lead to the criminalization and imprisonment of Indigenous women like herself, and to know that she is not alone is at once comforting and deeply troubling. She is introduced to community members who assist her on her healing journey; she takes an interest in her cousin's legal woes, but in the wake of so much trauma, Maya becomes fearful. Curious rustlings play at the edges of her consciousness, and she can't shake the feeling that she is being watched, that helping other women may come at a price. An ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a profound meditation on trauma, ancestral wisdom, familial bonds, and empowerment in the face of adversity, Dragonfly reminds us of all the lessons nature and history can teach us. Most importantly, Vermette assures us that on the other side of tremendous suffering, there is always a renewed way of living.
