What it's about

Laos Folk-Lore of Farther India collects myths, legends, and customs of the Lao people recorded during Fleeson’s travels through northern Siam and French Laos at the turn of the century. Through tales of naga serpents, village spirits, Buddhist morality stories, and origin myths, she reveals how animism blends with Theravāda belief, guiding everyday life from rice planting to marriage. Fleeson’s ethnographic sketches, interwoven with commentary on ritual objects and music, preserve indigenous oral traditions then threatened by colonial modernity
