Itbu-moo, the Mother Creator, shaped the mountains, rivers and lakes. But something was missing. Why did her creation feel empty? So, taking a fresh ball of snow, she created the first man . . . and then the first woman. These became the chief deities of the Lepchas.'\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThus begins one of the stories in this delightful book, a compilation of folk tales of the Lepchas, passed down through the ages.\u003cbr\u003e\nCustodians of a language and script of the same name, the Lepchas inhabit regions that currently fall under the state of Sikkim, in Darjeeling district of West Bengal, Ilam district of eastern Nepal and the south-western parts of Bhutan.
