Review
"Indonesian Folktales is worth reading?and keeping?for those who want to broaden their knowledge on
traditional Indonesian culture. It is hoped that this kind of literature will reach a wide readership through
publishing and literary discussions to preserve Indonesia's heritage." - The Jakarta Post

"Readers will be delighted with such a fresh and interesting collection of tales, many never before published,
even in Indonesian. The extra materials enhance the understanding of each story and place it in proper
cultural context. Impeccably documented." - Story Bag

"As with other volumes in this series, the book begins with valuable information about the country. . . .
MacDonald has appended excellent source notes giving background on each tale. . . . There have been few
collections of Indonesian folktales readily available. Thanks to Libraries Unlimited for opening a window to
traditions little known in the U.S. and countering the often grim headlines from Indonesia." - Territorial

Absorbing, informative and entertaining
By Sophie Masson
Indonesia is one of the most fascinating places in the world, with a rich, attractive, diverse and complex
culture, and wonderful stories. Its rich trove of folktales is not known well enough in the West--but here's a
book that will go some way to filling the gap. Murti Bunanta, an extraordinary and gifted writer who has
published many wonderful books of retellings from the folklore of her country, here presents a great
snapshot of Indonesia for young and old. She starts by background pieces on the history, geography and
material culture of the huge archiepelago and its very diverse peoples, and then retells a whole bunch of
folktales, in thematic groups--for instance, stories about rice, stories about independent princesses, ungrateful
children, legends of places, and more. The book is illustrated with line drawings and colour photographs and
is beautifully produced. A must for everyone interested in learning more about an extraordinary country.

A must for storytellers
By Kiran Shah
This is a gem of a book with collections of tales, many of whom have never been written down before. This
is a real treasure for anyone interested in Asian folklore. It's especially useful for storytellers as apart from
the stories, extra information about the country is included. Kudos to the author and editor for making this
available in English for more to enjoy and appreciate the richness of indonesia through its tales.
