Wonderful Illustrations and Good Stories: A Beautiful Book,
By
This review is from: The Girl Who Fell from the Sky & Other Classic Philippine Legends (Hardcover)
The illustrations in this book are beautifully done, a wonderful match for the stories contained in this book. I would buy the book for the illustrations alone. Although I thought the theme of these stories slightly odd, it was an interesting grouping based on explaining the geography of various places in the Phillipine Islands - caused by the actions of humans. The stories wonderfully demonstrate the unique way Filipinos look at their environment and surroundings. The stories are exquisitely told - always using just the right voice, just the right tone, and just the right amount of detail to help the story and characters come alive. I particularly liked the story about the Queen Whom Love Forgot - a "heroine" that you won't run into in most faerie tales. These are stories that most readers are not likely to find elsewhere. Well worth the buy.
