Originally published in 1901, this book contains twenty six folk
tales from the Malay peninsula. The text is illustrated with
photographs and drawings of Malaysian settings and animals, and the
stories are accompanied by explanatory notes at the end of the text
to clarify points of local history, religion and language. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in comparative
folklore or the fables of the Malay peninsula.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1901 Edition.
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
