Cautionary Fables & Fairytales 4


This one was good, but I expected more of a variety. With the exception of a single story from Fiji, all the others are Hawaiian or Filipino. What about Samoa and Indonesia and all the other places? I'm thinking Australia, New Zealand, etc. will get their own volume, but still. I definitely was disappointed there weren't more locations represented. 

The two strongest stories for me were Hawaiian: one about the Night Marchers and the other about the rivalry between Poliahu (snow) and Pele (fire). 

It was enjoyable, but the Asian volume remains the strongest, followed by the African.
