Shreya | 4 comments Hello, can you please add this book to the database https://archive.org/details/BhalaiKar..., the book is in Hindi and lacks an ISBN number. It's a collection of folk tales with translator and editor's name missing. Thanks!

Shreya | 4 comments Sorry, my bad.
Here are all the missing details I could find.
Publication date- September 2010
Publisher- people's publishing house
Page count- 250
Format- hardback
Description- There is no official description I could find for this book. It's a collection of classic Kazakh folk tales translated in hindi.
As I mentioned previously there is no author's or translator's name present and the book also doesn't have any isbn.

Shreya | 4 comments I also found this book on the publisher site https://pphbooks.net/product_info.php.... Thanks a lot!

lethe | 16359 comments This book was already in the database, but with an incorrect author name "Kazakh folk": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I think it should either be left out and the translator name made primary, or, since more books were added with this "author name", changed to Unknown (but would like a second opinion on that).

Shreya | 4 comments Thanks a lot! Sorry to bother you with this issue, I really should have searched better. And your idea is great it would really help in clearing up info about it.

lethe | 16359 comments @rivka, what do you think is the best solution regarding the author name?

The author name should be Unknown.

lethe | 16359 comments Thanks!

I have removed "Kazakh folk" from retellings, making the adapter the primary author, and merged the remaining books on the "Kazakh folk" profile including this one into Unknown.
