John Frederick Adolphus McNair (1828-1910) was a British Indian and colonial officer who proved himself a mult-talented civil servant in the service of the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and Singapore). His many roles included engineer, superintendant of convicts, manager of public works, and member of the commission for the pacification of Larut following the signing of the peace treaty in 1874. In 1846, aged 17, he left England to take a position with the British East India Company in Madras where he studied and became fluent in Hindustani, a skill that would stand him in good stead. From Madras he was transferred to Malacca in 1853, after which he was posted to Singapore where he acted as private secretary and aide-de-camp to the Governor of Straits Settlements. In 1857 he was appointed Executive Engineer and Superintendent of Convicts, and he was also responsible for Public Works and the Oriental Gaol in Singapore. His strong command of Hindustani meant he could easily converse with Indian convicts, who he employed in the construction of roads and buildings in Singapore. He later became Colonial Engineer and through his efforts the building of water works, which had long been plagued with failures, was successfully completed. After serving as Acting Resident Councillor to the Governor of Penang, and several missions to Siam (now Thailand) during which he came to be on good terms with the King, he resigned his position in 1884 on medical grounds after a long and distinguished career. He was the author of several books, including this collection of Indian folk tales, presented with explanatory notes and illustrations, which was co-written with Thomas Lambert Barlow, Late Superintendent, Chief Salt-range, India. Reprinted from the revised and corrected edition of 1908.

The present volume studies three oral epic traditions in the Tulu language (a Dravidian language). They have been living performance traditions in the Tulu speaking coastal districts of Karnataka up to the present day. For the first time, Indian, European and American scholars working on Tulu oral epics, folklorists, anthropologists as well as Indologists are brought together. All texts discussed belong to the indigenous Tulu genre called paddana, which ranges from shorter invocations of local deities to texts of epic dimensions. Because paddanas had been transmitted exclusively orally until the 19th century, it is very difficult to assign their composition to a particular historical period. The social universe described in some of them may reflect a late medieval setting. Texts of one of the epic traditions have been collected over a period of almost 150 years, from the mid-19th century to the early 2000s. Two papers (H. Bruckner / V. Rai and V. Nandavara) deal with this tradition which is part of the oldest collections. In contrast, the popular epic of the Bant heroine, Siri, only attracted the attention of scholars from the 1970s onwards. In this book, the Siri tradition is studied by C. Gowda, A. Alva, and P. Schuster-Lohlau. Peter J. Claus' important paper introduces Koddabbu, the champion of a Dalit community. The wealth of texts and versions reflected in this volume allows, for the first time, to make systematic comparisons between different texts of the same tradition as well as between narrative elements and cultural concepts found in different traditions. Linguistic analysis, too, is just beginning to reveal possibly unique textual and narrative features.
