About the Book

Aalaththur Nambis, divine healers known to 'cure the incurable'. Mangalaththu Swaamiyar, blessed with the power of seeing God. Bhattathiri, the extraordinary astrologer, rumored to have Mercury and Venus living in his outhouse. The deep bond between Kesavan and his mahout that lasted for sixty years. A vibrant and diverse cast of characters brings to life the ancient, enduring legends of Kerala in the Aithihyamaala, the garland of legends. Originally documented over 25 years and written in the 1900s by the famous Malayalam scholar, Kottarathil Sankunni, the Aithihyamaala was a collection of 126 tales, some based on real events and others a meld of fact and fiction. These stories of famous figures in Kerala folklore, including the honest thief Kayamkulam Kochchunni and the powerful king Shaktan Thampuraan, were first published in Bhashaposhini, the renowned Malayalam literary magazine. This volume of 15 stories, meticulously curated and translated by Leela James, transports you to the magical world of history, myth and fantasy of more than a hundred years ago. Wisdom and vice, revenge and loyalty, imagination and fact, faith and superstition are intricately intertwined to create a collector's edition for lovers of legends, Malayalam folklore and Indian literature.

About the Author

Kottarathil Sankunni is a well-known author of Malayalam literature and although he was prolific in both prose and poetry, he is best known today as the author of the hugely popular Aithihyamaala. He died on 22 July 1937. Leela James taught at the New Era High School in Panchgani in Maharashtra before her marriage to the late Professor Josef James. She discovered her writing abilities after she was 75, taking up the pen when most people put it down and surprised herself and others with these books that are a must-have for all those who cannot read Malayalam.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
