In captivating text and illustrations, this beautiful multicultural children's
book presents a collection of cherished fables, myths, legends and fairy tales
from Thailand that have been passed down through generations of Thai families.
The nine charming stories in this book feature clever princesses, warring gods
and goddesses, foolish kings, and wily tigers, against a backdrop of traditional
Thai village life. They deal with the universal values that parents everywhere
want to teach their children, such as good versus evil, right versus wrong, and
wisdom versus foolishness.
Stories include "How The Thais Learned to Be Calm," when a small village
argument escalates into a terrible war; "Princess Golden Flower and the Vulture
King," in which a brave princess saves herself from an evil king; and "The Gold
Harvest" in which a wise father-in-law tricks his lazy son-in-law into working
hard for his family.
