description: Rev. P. O. Bodding lived as a missionary among the Santals in Santal Parganas in India for more than 30 years. During this period he helped the Santals collect their own folklore by writing down the stories of their foremost tellers. From this he published a number of tales in his famous Santal Folk Tales vols I-III, but to date the vast mass of his collection has been little used. For scholars working on the Santals, then, this catalogue will be an indispensable aid for research in Bodding's vast treasure trove.
