Micronesian Legends is a collection of seventy fables, folklore, and legends drawn from island cultures.
Sharp, intense black-and-white illustrations by Connie J. Adams pepper these brief yet fascinating tales of great loves, heroes, villains and cruel fate. An amazing and exciting read which illuminates Micronesian cultures and traditions in a “reader friendly” format especially recommended for young adults and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in multicultural legends and folklore.
“Micronesian Legends is enhanced with an impressive bibliography, making it a welcome and valued addition to any academic reference collection or supplemental studies reading list.” –James A. Cox, Wisconsin Bookwatch
