Description
Lao Folktales by Steven Jay Epstein is a slim volume of traditional stories that have been entertaining the Lao people for generations. These tales feature a range of characters, including a clever trickster and a quick-witted toad, who use their wits to outsmart others. The stories in this book are distinctively Lao, with a unique blend of humor and charm that reflects the country's Buddhist culture. Works by Anoulom Souvandouane, a renowned illustrator from Laos, bring the tales to life with vibrant illustrations. This collection offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Laos, with its own unique brand of storytelling and wit.
