Bhutanese Talse of the Yeti is a collection of twenty-two stories set in four different regions of Bhutan. The presence of the yeti is ubiquitous to the kingdom of the Himalayas, where beliefs and attitudes related to it go beyond scientific judgment and analysis. The Bhutanese consider the yeti, or the Migoi, to be an essential part of the backdrop of their existence. Believed to possess supernatural power enabling it to become invisible at will, the yeti often manifests itself in tangible from and then suddenly vanishes, leaving behind nothing but an unexpected void. Folklore about the abominable snowman has existed for centuries; however, with the far-reaching impact of the media, the prepetuation of this oral tradition is threatened. This collection of storis is an attempt to document a vital tradition before it is wiped out entirely.
