The Memory of Shadows and Other Folktales from the Northeast is a collection of stories rooted in the oral storytelling traditions of Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, and the surrounding regions. In these traditional narratives, the landscape plays a central role—forests, rivers, and bamboo groves form the backdrop for tales where humans learn to coexist with wildlife and the elements.

The collection features varied regional stories: a grief-stricken tigress teaches a community to respect the wild, a former poacher turns into a forest guardian, a misunderstood village woman becomes a local healer, and two brothers navigate a conflict involving an elephant. Through these plots, the book explores the values, rituals, and cultural traditions that have shaped the collective imagination of the Northeast across generations.

Narrated by Mijing Gwra Basumatary in a clear and accessible style, these traditional folktales are adapted for the modern reader while preserving the core wisdom and folklore of the region.
