<p>Philippine Children's Book. A collection of 8 legends retold by Maria Elena Paterno. Excerpt form the Introduction: Retold in this book are myths and legends gleaned from different parts from the Philippines. Although their origins are forgotten, the stories have survived. Countless generations of storytellers--and the listeners who made the stories their own-- have fashioned and refashioned these tales until they became mirrors of their lives...The stories may have been altered slightly in my version, just as they have been changed in generations of retelling. I may have taken liberties in order to fill in gaps I thought needed filing, or added details where I thought the embellishment would help the story. Please do the same when you tell the story to the next person. Read them, make them your own, and pass them on. They are all our stories -- the collective oral heritage of the Filipino people. - Maria Elena Paterno</p>
