Fables and Folk Tales from an Eastern Forest (Paperback)

1901. The tales contained in this volume were taken down from the lips of the Malay peasantry, in the twilight of their own tropical jungle, during the progress of the Cambridge Expedition of 1899 through the remoter states of the Malay Peninsula. The tales themselves are the merest gleanings from an extensive harvest-field, and make no pretensions whatever to any completeness or finality. Illustrated. Sample Contents: King of the Tigers is Sick; A Vegetarian Dispute; Pelican's Punishment; Tiger Get His Deserts; Tiger and the Shadow; Wit Wins the Day; Elephant Princess and the Prince; Saint that Was Shot Out of His Own Cannon; Legend of Patani; Malayan Deluge; King Solomon and the Birds; Silver Prince, and Princess Lemon-grass
