From the Amazon to the Arctic, the world is teeming with diverse cultures. There's no better way for students to learn about the world's cultural diversity than through its folktales. These tales are the foundations of the world's traditions, literature, and popular culture and are fundamental to daily life. The most comprehensive work of its kind, this set gives students and general readers a library of the world's folktales. Each volume of the set is devoted to a particular broad geographic region. Each volume includes an introductory essay, and the tales within each book are gathered in sections devoted to particular cultural groups or regions. The tales are accompanied by explanatory headnotes, and the set closes with a selected, general bibliography.Tales covered include: "Catskin"; "Courted by the Devil"; "The Hobyahs"; "How the Twins Visited the Sun"; "Jack and the Fire Dragaman"; "Jack the Giant Killer"; "Lady Featherlight"; "Pele's Long Sleep"; "The Raja and the Pauper"; "Tale of Lantern"; "The Tortoise Had a Pretty Daughter"; "The Wallaroo and the Willy Wagtail"; and many more.
