Philippine Folktales by Gabriela Lee

This wonderful collection of stories from the Philippines highlights stories from the Bagobo, Tagalog and Visayan peoples, a unique blend of Asian and Pacific origins, Spanish influences from the long period of colonial occupation, and the islands' position as a seafaring trading post between Japan, Indonesia, Korea and China.
