Green (anthropology, Texas A&M U.) has produced other collections of folktales for Greenwood, and here offers educators, students, and general readers examples of a range of traditional Asian American narrative types. The entire breadth of Asian American tradition too extensive to fit in an single volume, he selects traditions from India, the Philippines, China, Japan, and Korea as established and settled populations whose folktales have been translated into English. Among the titles are the princess Kwan-yin, the ogre of Rashomon, the quarrel of the monkey and the crab, and an encounter with a hobgoblin.
