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. 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, The Golden Axe, The Rajah Who Lost His Head, A Tale of Two Sisters, The Three Fishes, and more! The Children's Favorite Stories series was created to share the folktales and legends most beloved by children in the East with young readers of all backgrounds in the West
