This collection of folktales provides readers with an extensive
overview of the breadth of Tibetan culture, revealing the character
of the region and its people as well as their traditional customs
and values. Most Westerners are unlikely to travel to the
mountainous region of East Asia and experience the Tibetan people
and their culture directly. This book provides a way to experience
and learn about this remote nation through carefully selected
Tibetan folktales that provide readers with a unique glimpse into
Tibet's culture, its people, and the land itself through the window
of folklore. Providing a unique resource that can serve both as a
storytime aid for educators who work with primary school students
and a valuable reference for Eastern folklorists, Tibetan Folktales
contains more than 30 traditional Tibetan stories that give readers
a taste of the land, people, culture, history, religion, and psyche
of this remote country. The tales are gathered from contemporary
Tibetan storytellers and translated from written sources to
represent the rich oral and written literary tradition of Tibet's
culture. In addition, the book supplies tutorials for Tibetan
crafts and games, a sample of recipes, and photographs and
illustrations that create a multidimensional experience of Tibetan
culture. Offers more than 30 folktales-some of which have never
before been published in English-that introduce readers to Tibetan
cultural traditions and represent a full array of different
folktale types Includes nine recipes for Tibetan dishes specifying
alternative ingredients that can be substituted for hard-to-find
original ingredients Supplies craft and game instructions that will
enliven a grade school classroom and entertain young audiences as
they learn about Tibetan culture and folklore Includes color images
that enable readers to better appreciate the richness of Tibetan
culture
