Tales From Cultures Far and Near

Classics of many lands— wisdom from China and Japan, an African romance, wildly funny Native American, Arabian and Spanish tales— show that the human beings who tell them all are related.

• Two Monks (Japan)
• The Three Friends of Manuel (Spain)
• Courting the Wind (West Africa)
• The Secret Weapon (China)
• Djuha: Two Stories (Arabic)
