"Celebrate the unique diversity and vibrancy of the Philippines through an in-depth
exploration of the stories, traditions, songs, crafts, and recipes of the many different
regions of the country. The archipelago nation of the Philippines is comprised of
more than 7,100 islands on which over 170 dialects are spoken. This is not surprising
given the many ethnic groups that have settled in the Philippines, each bringing traditions
that have been assimilated by the Filipino people. One way to understand this varied
nation is through its colorful folklore. Tales from the 7,000 Isles: Filipino Folk
Stories offers insights into the people and culture of the Philippines through dozens
of tales representing the nation's various islands, regions, and cultural-ethnic groups.
Designed to provide educators with material with which to enhance curriculum and lesson
plans, the stories open a gateway to a rich and unique cultural mix. The tales presented
here are divided into animal stories, how and why stories, tales of enchantment, trickster
tales, and scary stories. In them readers can discern not only the native Filipino
culture, but the influences of the many peoples who have moved through and settled
in the islands, most notably Malay, Chinese, and Spanish, but also Arab, Indian, and
American. A brief history of the country, its people, and their cultural traditions
is included, as are crafts, children's games, recipes, and color photos. Notes about
the stories, a bibliography, and a glossary complete the volume."--Publisher's website
