With the grace and delicacy of a courtesan's silk fan, this collection of folklore from Samoa unfolds to reveal a world steeped in mystery and sudden wisdom. A bat loses its wings to a flattering rat, an octopus’s act of kindness brings it unwanted spots, a giant carries a thankless man across the sea and in the title story, “The Stone Maiden”, a crab retrieves a family’s bewitched daughter. The stories are briskly and skillfully told, entrancing the reader with their colorful characters. Fables reverberate in the captivating illustrations of award-winning artist, Michael Evanston, and a brief moral serves as a coda to each narrative. The result is a delightful book that, like the sorcerers found in many of the fables, swiftly and completely enchants young readers as well as adults.Tom Moran, Writer
