Reading this book is like embarking on a global folklore journey: totem legends around the campfire of African tribes, winter solstice fairy tales in Nordic snow log cabins, rice god songs in the rainforests of Southeast Asia... From American Indian creation myths to moonlight fables in Middle Eastern markets, more than a hundred living folk stories are like pearls scattered in the stars, stringing together human beings' awe and imagination of all things, making exotic customs shine on the pages of the book.
