| Summary | "A Collection of Kachári Folk-Tales and Rhymes" by J. D. Anderson is a scholarly collection of folk tales and rhymes from the Kachári people, written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a supplementary text to Reverend S. Endle's Kachári Grammar and is aimed at those who possess a basic understanding of the Kachári language. The collection provides a glimpse into the culture and traditions of the Kachári, bringing forth narratives that reflect the simplicity and richness of their folk lore. The opening of the collection sets the stage by explaining the intention behind the gathering of these stories, highlighting that they were collected during a six-week tour of the Kachári mauzas of Mangaldai. Anderson expresses hope that these folk tales will intrigue those unfamiliar with the Kachári language and inspire further exploration of the cultural narratives within Assam's hill tribes. Additionally, he touches on the syntactical similarities between Kachári and Assamese, suggesting a fascinating linguistic relationship that could provoke deeper inquiry among linguists and enthusiasts alike.
