The Whispering Mountains: Marvellous Folktales from the Himalayas is a collection of folktales handed down through generations―tales shared by grandparents sitting by the fire on cold nights, tales carried by the whispering winds, and echoing through the rivers and peaks of the Himalayas.In these tales, trees and flowers, animals and birds coexist with humans, one story ending as another one begins. The wicked and the good are not as they seem, and magic is always close at hand. Clever women outwit thieves, while fools reveal unexpected wisdom. The stories hold the teachings of nature and the playful mischief of tricksters, the marvel of creation myths, and the shimmering magic of shapeshifters. Across these regions lie the enduring secrets and strengths of the mountains, with doors that lead to hidden realms and windows which open to wonder.

Namita Gokhale is an award winning writer and festival director. She is the author of eleven works of fiction and has written extensively on myth as well as the Himalayan region. Her acclaimed debut novel, Paro: Dreams of Passion, was published in 1984. Her recent novel Jaipur Journals, published in January 2020, was set against the backdrop of the vibrant Jaipur Literature Festival. Betrayed By Hope, a play on the life of Michael Madhusudan Dutt, was also published in 2020.


A co-founder and co-director of the Jaipur Literature Festival, Gokhale is committed to supporting translations and curating literary dialogues across languages and cultures. She was conferred the Centenary National Award for Literature by the Asam Sahitya Sabha in Guwahati in 2017. She won the Sushila Devi Literature Award for her novel Things to Leave Behind, which also received the Best Fiction Jury Award at the Valley of Words Literature Festival 2017, and was on the longlist for the 2018 International Dubl
