Folk tales are the living memory of a culture. Lithuanian Folk Tales preserves that memory in translation while honouring the original imagery and spirit.
Translation, art and cultural exchange
This volume was translated from Lithuanian with support from artist Zita Vilutyte. Her cover art and illustrations enrich the book, making it a cultural bridge between India and Lithuania.
The Bangalore release event included an exhibition of Zita Vilutyte’s artwork, highlighting how story and visual expression travel together across borders.
"A folk tale collection is more than a storybook; it is a living memory, a thread that connects generations and keeps culture moving forward."
The collection presents ten stories with warmth and simplicity, inviting readers to experience the traditions of a distant land in a familiar voice.
