About This Book

This collection brings eight Indonesian folktales to life through the retelling of Murti Bunanta and the vibrant illustrations of Hardiyono. The stories feature memorable characters like a tiny child no bigger than a thumb who outwits a giant, and a princess who sacrifices herself to bring peace to her land. Gathered from oral traditions and historical collections written in Dutch and indigenous languages, these tales explore themes of heroism, love, and family in a richly imagined landscape. Best for children ages nine and up.
