4.0 out of 5 stars
Offers great insights into traditional Cambodian culture,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cambodian Folk Stories from the Gatiloke (Paperback)
What better way to get to know a culture than through its folklore? This wonderful collection includes Cambodian folktales passed down for centuries--even millenia--before being written down in the late nineteenth century. Simple but elegant (as are the illustrations), these stories teach traditional Buddhist values, usually in the negative: don't be greedy, don't be haughty, don't be superstitious, don't be gullible--or else you will pay the price! Adding insight are background notes on Cambodian society, holidays, etc. A good primer for anyone interested in traditional Cambodian culture.
