Urban Legends from India: Errata

Letters to Ambrose Merton # 26, 2001

As explained at the end of the item, the collection of urban legends from India appears in LTAM 25 had been edited down from a much longer file supplied by Sanjay Sircar. Unfortunately in the course of producing a document of publishable size, some errors were made. Our- apologies for these. The items, “Manmohan”, “Know its meaning” and “Judge not a native by the draperies” should not have appeared in the section “Anglo-Indian Urban Pride Motifs” as they concern Anglidsed Indian high ‘society. in addition, the story of “Aunt Renuka” appeared in two different versions.
