<i>Indonesian Children's Favorite Stories</i>, is a charming collection of traditional Indonesian folktales drawn from the nation's rich treasury of lore and legends. Retold for an international audience by Joan Suyenaga—who grew up with <i>Japanese Children's Favorite Stories</i>, the first title in the series, on her family bookshelf—<i>Indonesian Children's Favorite Stories</i> gives children everywhere a glimpse of the country's traditional culture, morals and environment. Delightfully illustrated by prominent Indonesian artist Salim Martowiredjo, this new paperback edition is aimed at children five to twelve, but readers of all ages will find much to love within these pages. Set in tropical rainforests, on balmy beaches, and in the remote highlands of the Indonesian islands, tales include "The Woodcarver's Love", "The Frog", "The Caterpillar Story", and more.
