| 520 | _a"Folk tales of Sind and Guzarat" by C. A. Kincaid is a collection of folk stories written in the early 20th century. It gathers legends, saints’ lives, place-lore, and moral tales from Sind and Gujarat, retold in clear, engaging prose. The focus is on the region’s syncretic Hindu–Muslim spirituality, its river-and-desert settings, and the romance of shrines, ruins, and local heroes. It will appeal to readers interested in South Asian folklore and cultural history. The opening of the book frames the project with a preface noting these pieces first appeared in newspapers, a dedication, a Shah Latif epigraph, and a foreword praising Sind’s landscape, romance, and new archaeological discoveries, before moving into the Sind tales. Kincaid retells the miracles and cult of Lal Shahbaz of Sehwan; the river-born savior Udero Lal who protects Hindus and leaves a shared temple-mosque; Zinda Pir (Al-Khidr/Elijah) as guardian of Indus boatmen; the life of Shah Abdul Latif and the making of Shah jo Risalo; and Makhdum Nuh’s wonders, including realigning Tatta’s great mosque. He then gives origin legends: Hyderabad (Nerankot) through Shah Makai and Haidar Ali; and two contrasting accounts of Brahmanabad’s destruction, both blaming a wicked ruler. The section closes with a fairy-tale, The Eighth Key, where a loyal minister repeatedly saves his king at great cost and is restored, and it begins The Noose of Murad, explaining a ruined fort and a proverb through the rise of a bald grass-cutter favoured by fate.
