The Liangmais are a sub-tribe of the Zeliangrong Nagas. The Zeliangrong country straddles the present day Nagaland, Manipur and Assam. Permeated by an earthy wisdom, the stories in this collection, bring out a sturdy sense of humour amidst life’s deadly twists and turns. Available for the first time in English, these stories directly narrated by the village elders, were recorded, transcribed and later rendered into English.
