Description: A lively history of folklore practice in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
Brief description: Sadhana Naithani is associate professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University. She is author of In Quest of Indian Folktales: Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube and William Crooke and editor of Folktales from Northern India.
Review Quotes: Sadhana Naithani's courage to navigate totally unknown waters has resulted in producing interesting and valuable scholarship. She provides a panoramic view of regional disciplinary history no one has written and where any insider would be drowned in technicalities, biographies, and details. The work is insightful and the chosen 'dramatic approach' pays off in reader's pleasure.--Toms Ķencis, PhD, researcher at the Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art at University of Latvia
