Following context on the country's physical and cultural environment, they present engaging stories with the themes of animals, enchantment, how and why explanations, tricksters, and other scary creatures. The nicely illustrated book includes the region from which the stories originated; annotations on the tales; and Filipino recipes, crafts, and games.
