"Santal Folk Tales" by A. Campbell is a collection of folk tales, likely written in the late 19th century. This work presents the oral traditions of the Santal people, showcasing their unique customs, beliefs, and social dynamics through stories that blend entertainment with moral lessons. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the cultural richness of the Santal folklore, emphasizing the importance of these tales in preserving the community's heritage. The preface highlights how the Santals have maintained their distinct identity despite external influences and outlines the two main categories of tales included: those of pure Santal origin and those adapted from neighboring cultures. The first story, "The Magic Lamp," sets the tone with a narrative about a poor widow and her son who encounters a magical lamp that leads them on a journey of adventure and suspense, illustrating themes of resourcefulness and resilience against adversity. Overall, the initial portion of "Santal Folk Tales" promises an enlightening exploration of traditions through captivating narratives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
