    Terrific

    Delivery in time and packaging 5, in good condition.

    The book retells stories of Manipuri myths told from generation to generation. Just like we Assamese people have read Burhi Aair Sadhu, these are mythical stories of Manipur. Stories are good making you understand AND THAT IS WHY this or that happens. Besides, the stories consist of several picture arts making them even more lively. You can know a lot about the Manipuri folktales.

    Total pages: 97( counting only the pages containing stories)
