Fables from Simla

By Samuel DenHartog

In the cool shadows of the Himalayan foothills, where pine forests whisper across terraced slopes and village fires burn low beneath the stars, stories have passed from one generation to the next for centuries. Nestled among these hills lies Simla, a town once hidden in clouds and legend, where every winding path seems to lead to a tale. These are stories born of high places and long memories, woven from mountain mist and moonlight, told beside cooking fires and carried in the breath of elders.

Within these pages, you'll meet talking animals, clever tricksters, loyal companions, wicked stepmothers, and princes marked by the stars. Some stories are full of laughter, others laced with danger or tenderness, but all bear the timeless pulse of human imagination shaped by mountain life. These fables carry riddles of justice, fate, courage, and transformation, drawn from a place where myth and reality often share the same narrow path.

Perfect for readers who treasure folk tales, mythology, or the quiet magic of old stories told anew, this collection opens the gates to a forgotten Simla. Not the Simla of stone and road, but one built of stories. Step into a world where a snake might grant a wish, a bird might tell the truth, and a wandering child might uncover something far more precious than gold.
