""Himalayan Folklore" is a collection of legends of Garhwal, Almora and Nainital regions of the Himalayas as narrated by the bards or "Hurkias" as they are locally called and collected by Rev. E. S. Oakley and Tara Dutt Gairola, the authors. The "Hurkias," a sub-caste of Doms, were the family bards of all kings and heroes. Mr. Oakley's collection covers a wide range of folklore literature of the Himalayan hills compiled by him over a period of forty years and also contains his learned notes on the same. Some of these stories come from the collection of Rai Pandit Ganga Datt Upreti Bahadur also who had made extensive researches in the subject during his official career as Senior Assistant Commissioner in the Garhwal District in the latter part of the 19th century.".
