006 - How the Hare Deceived the Tiger
from Shan Folk Lore Stories from the Hill and Water Country · host William Charles Griggs
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Shan folklore, where timeless tales resonate with the black-eyed, brown-skinned children of the Shan mountain region in Burma. Much like beloved stories such as Jack the Giant Killer and Cinderella in our own culture, these narratives reveal the essence of a unique way of life. While they may lack the polish of literary masterpieces, these native stories offer profound insights into the mindsets and perspectives of the Burmese people. Through these captivating tales, I hope to engage the reader and spark curiosity about a rich cultural heritage, all while presenting them in the charm of English prose. -- from the authors introduction - Summary by Larry Wilson
