Henjunaha Lairoulembi & Seven Brothers
These color folktale books are produced under the Nanao Fungga Wari Series and published by NE Brothers Entertainments Pvt. Ltd.
These books are published on the vision that folktales plot are generally concerned with life’s universal themes, they are transcend their culture of origin to reveal the commonality of human experience.
This ancient form of narrative communication for both educational and entertainment, not only offers a window into other cultures, but also can be a revealing mirror of the comedy and pathos of our lives.
Although folktales are imaginative narratives, they are shelved in the non-fiction area of social sciences. Ironically, these tales are “true” not because they actually happened but because these are often a bit of “truth” or wisdom embedded in them.
Moramba I
Folktales offer profound insights into the cultures from which they come. That is the reason why we are trying to document folktales of Manipur by publishing as much as we can with interesting illustration, to make it easier and enjoyable for both young and old to read.
So far 12 illustrated folktales books have been published by NE Brothers Entertainments Pvt. Ltd under the Nanao Fungga Wari Series.
