This colorfully illustrated multicultural children's book presents Balinese fairy tales and other stories--providing insight into a rich oral culture.
This volume presents a charming collection of well-loved myths and tales from Bali. Comprising 12 stories that have been told by mothers to children over the centuries, the tales cover classic childhood themes--good versus evil, children versus adults, and so on. They make perfect new additions for story time or bedtime reading. The stories have appeared previously in a different form, but never so clearly and in such a way that the beauty of Bali and Balinese culture is evoked so well. Narrated with an international audience in mind and illustrated with whimsical watercolors by Trina Bohan-Tyrie, Balinese Children's Favorite Stories will enchant six to ten year old readers all over the world.
Balinese Stories include:
The Haughty Toad
