Summary

"Set in tropical rainforests, on balmy beaches, and in remote corners of the Indonesian islands, the stories in this book offer a taste of how universal values of bravery, cleverness, true love, kindness and loyalty are transmitted to Indonesian children. Astute princesses, resourceful villagers and daring travelers appear throughout this vast archipelago to tell their stories and charm our children"--, Jacket flap
