Children in Global Folk Tales oleh Robert Escobar

In Children in Global Folk Tales, read about a woman acting as midwife to a pregnant troll, a young African girl outwitting spirits who hunger for human flesh, children adopted by dwarves under a mountain, young love blossoming under the waves in China, a sultan's son who goes on a quest for immortality and more. So many folk tale collections have been created for children over the years. Here is something different, one featuring them. 35 stories from around the world offer a multicultural and complex tapestry. It is an image of what we see in ourselves when we see the young, how we often wish to have some of our own and what we wish for them to have.
