Beyond the Blue Mountain: Short Tales from the Philippines - Paperback

by Kathy M. Thompson (Editor), John B. Thompson (Author)

This delightful collection of Filipino folklore tales was carefully compiled decades ago by John B. Thompson. These thirty stories, which were handed down through generations and shared with him while he was in Baguio during the late 1940's, are written for readers of all ages in a style that celebrates, respects and preserves a small portion of the rich folklore and mythological heritage on the Philippines. Included is an introduction in which Mr. Thompson identifies the sources of his stories, and defines the timeframe during which they were told to him. Indulge yourself with a glimpse into the magic and mystery of Philippine folklore as preserved in this beautiful and entertaining collection.
