Summary
A myth, a legend and a fable from the pre-colonial Philippines: A creation story, the monkey and the turtle and aponitolau and the star maiden. The bilingual book in English and Tagalog is illustrated and designed by Filipino American artists. Essentially a children's book, but the artistic sophistication and painstaking design make this book accessible for all ages. Includes an introduction to Filipino folk tales, the history of the Tagalog language and a bilingual glossary taken from the stories. Two-color, with duotone illustrations throughout. Excellent classroom material for all grade levels. A teacher's guide and an essay on the history and culture of the Philippines may be purchased separately. Also, bilingual audiocassettes with dramatic readings of each story accompanied by music by the Filipino American group Mahal playing traditional instruments from the islands
