Philippine Folklore Stories is a collection of traditional tales and legends from the Philippines, compiled and retold by John Maurice Miller. The book features 34 stories that offer a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage, including myths about creation, legends of heroes and heroines, and tales of supernatural beings such as aswang, tiyanak, and kapre. The stories are accompanied by black and white illustrations that capture the essence of the narratives. The book provides readers with an opportunity to explore the unique and fascinating world of Philippine folklore, which is a blend of indigenous, Malay, Chinese, and Spanish influences. It is an ideal read for anyone interested in learning more about the Philippines and its cultural traditions.But one day, while they were laughing and singing, the earth suddenly opened and Harisaboqued sprang out before them. They were very much frightened and fled in terror down the mountain side. When they reached the foot and looked back they saw a terrible sight. All the tobacco had disappeared and, instead of the thousands of plants that they had tended so carefully, nothing but the bare mountain could be seen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
