August 12, 2007 - Thimphu: On the Wings of the Black-necked Crane is the latest collection of folktales to hit the local market. The book comes alive with the tales of the yore told to author Dechen Dolkar by her grandmother, momola.

Set in the time when people flew and gods and demons walked the earth, where people communicated with animals and trees, these stories take the reader to the good old time when people sat around the hearth and saw the world go magical.

Dechen Dolkar found refuge in her grandmother listening to these stories during those difficult years of growing up. And these stories were a safe heaven where she would retreat when life became too confusing for her. [Source: BhutanTimes]
