We’re thrilled to announce the release of Dadi, Dantkatha and the Djinns, a heartfelt collection of Kashmiri folktales that will transport you to a world where mountains whisper secrets, djinns roam misty valleys, and warmth radiates from the stories told by a grandmother on a snowy evening.
This enchanting collection by Avanti Sopory, endorsed by eminent actor Anupam Kher and filled with amazing sketches, breathes new life into the oral traditions of Kashmir—tales once told beside the hearth, filled with witches and fairies, clever animals, wise villagers, noble kings, and mysterious djinns. More than just stories, these narratives carry the soul of a culture, lovingly preserved through generations and now shared with the world.
Perfect for lovers of folklore, nostalgia, and cultural storytelling, Dadi, Dantkatha and the Djinns is your invitation to experience the timeless magic of Kashmiri heritage.
Let the storytelling begin—and may the magic never fade.
Coming soon on Reado Junior!
