Myths and Legends of the Andamans
by A.R. Radcliffe-Brown

An excerpt from Radcliffe-Brown's classic ethnography, The Andaman Islanders.

Myths and Legends of the Andamans was first published in 1922 under the authorship of A.R. Radcliffe Brown.

The Andamanese have a number of stories which are told to the younger people by their elders and relate to the doings of their ancestors in a time long ago. Some of these stories are recorded in the present chapter. A difficulty in the way of giving any clear and readable account of them is the fact that there are many slightly different versions of one and the same legend. To some extent the variations are local, each tribe, and even each portion of a tribe having its own set of legendary stories. Besides these local variations there are also individual variations.
