## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall good folklore book
*by C***. on September 24, 2024*

I like the enchanting stories in this book its filled with mythical creatures, moral lessons, and vibrant characters, the book beautifully captures the essence of Filipino folklore and provides insights into Filipino customs and traditions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Parents and 2020 readers beware...keep an open mind
*by H***Y on December 10, 2020*

Bought this book to read as a family. Should have preread some of it. Haha! Death, naked people, beating of children, animals dying, fighting, are all told. Readers, please bear in mind the respectfulness of the Philippine culture before Spanish influence. It’s 2020 and still to this day we pass down oral stories. Many written works are destroyed by natural disasters and it’s not in our forethought to write it all down. Thankfully a foreigner though to write them down so many years ago. Reading the preface of this book gives good insight. Be open minded to the time these original stories were gathered. The terms used might be racially charged to a reader in 2020. Keep reading. The stories are great and our children, though shocked at first, are now so excited to hear more folk tales and are proud of their Filipino culture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent compilation of stories
*by K***Z on January 8, 2009*

This book was first published in 1916 and had been out of print until Forbidden Books reprinted it. It was compiled through field work by anthropologists so there are not a lot of, if any at all, embellishments to the stories - which is a good thing. Being schooled in the Philippines, I already knew a few of the stories in this compilation but many are quite new, especially the tribal ones with no foreign influence. Anyone interested in Filipino literature and history should have a copy of this book.A copy of this book is also freely available via Google Books (digitized copy) but Forbidden Books have done a great job in re-printing this book so I definitely recommend buying the physical book. Its no classic but still, 4-stars for the re-printing job and the contents of the book itself.
