Book excerpt: The Legend of U Sier Lapalang or the Stag of Lapalang is an iconic Khasi folktale which speaks of the journey of a young stag who travels from the plains to the Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, India. As he enters the Khasi Hills he is hunted and killed by the Khasis. The folktale dwells on the lament of his mother who mourns his death and how the Khasis, touched by her devotion, sing of the sad tale of U Sier Lapalang. The book presents the folktale in the graphic novel form and also re interprets this classic Khasi folktale.
