Folklore & Mythology Editorial Review
The "Philippine Folk Tales" paperback provides readers with a vivid journey into the rich tapestry of Filipino folklore that intricately intertwines mythical creatures, moral lessons, and culturally significant characters. Published in 1916, this collection captures stories that are as captivating as they are educational, offering reflections of the customs and traditions that have shaped Filipino society. The anthology, compiled through anthropological fieldwork, is appreciated for its genuine representation of ancient tales, devoid of modern embellishments. Readers have expressed a newfound appreciation for Philippine culture through these stories, noting their blend of both light-hearted and dark themes. Parents have shared their experiences of reading the tales with their children, highlighting the importance of approaching the material with an understanding of the historical context and cultural sensitivities, especially with themes that might seem shocking by contemporary standards. The stories feature a mixture of creation legends and narratives revolving around native beliefs, such as the origins of monkeys or the Consequences of human actions, which allow for deep engagement with the materials. The re-issue by Forbidden Books has been praised for reviving this out-of-print gem, with readers recommending it not only as a valuable resource for lovers of folklore but also as a significant piece of literature for those looking to understand Philippine heritage. Despite some racially charged terms and themes reflective of their time, the unembellished narratives provide a unique portal into the past, making the book a substantial contribution to the understanding of Filipino cultural identity. **
