The Kadars are an Adivasi community living in the Annamalai and Parambikulam hills in Southern India.

This book is a soulful collection of folk tales of the Kadar indigenous community, passed down across generations & centuries. They instil deep love and reverence for the forest; while also showing us how to coexist with the forest and her creatures peacefully, sharing our collective resources.

The artwork is brilliant and it‘s a collectible.
