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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fleeson, Katherine Neville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1899\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Laos folk-lore of Farther India available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eLaos folk-lore of Farther India\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Laos folk-lore of Farther India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaos folk-lore of Farther India is written by Fleeson, Katherine Neville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
