But one day, while they were laughing and singing, the earth suddenly opened and Harisaboqued sprang out before them. They were very much frightened and fled in terror down the mountain side. When they reached the foot and looked back they saw a terrible sight. All the tobacco had disappeared and, instead of the thousands of plants that they had tended so carefully, nothing but the bare mountain could be seen.

This review is from: Philippine Folklore Stories (Paperback)
This book was a delight to my wife who grew up in the Philippines and an education for me, helping me to understand the fairy tales different from my US upbringing.

Philippine Folk-Tales,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Philippine Folklore Stories (Kindle Edition)
This book contained a bunch of folktales and folklore from the Philippines. They were slightly polished for an audience of Western children (not that there's anything wrong with that), which makes this a very family-friendly book. Each story also begins with a short description of where the story comes from or what it means to the original tellers, so it was informative as well as a good read.
The table of contents is inactive and there are no illustrations, but otherwise I didn't see any formatting or scanning errors. Stories contained are: The Tobaccos of Harisaboqued The Pericos The Passing of Loku The Light of the Fly Mangita and Larina How the World Was Made The Silver Shower The Faithlessness of Sinogo Catalina of Dumaguete The Fall of Polobulac The Escape of Juanita The Anting-Anting of Manuelito When the Lilies Return Less polished Philippine Folk-tales can be found in Philippine Folk Tales and in Philippine Folk-Tales

This review is from: Philippine Folklore Stories (Kindle Edition)
This was among the first books I uploaded to my Kindle. The best way to learn about a foreign culture is always through the stories and legends of the people. I must say I enjoyed the Philippine Folklore Stories a lot! I read them all in one day and I learnt everything from why the vulcano on one of the islands is still active to how an amulet can protect you form harm. The stories are a great reading for kids and adults alike!
