Moral Folk Tales from the Land of Plenty: The Wax Girl and other Enchanted Stories
Kerry Lots
THINK DEEPER. ACT KINDER. LIVE WISER.
Discover a world where animals argue like grumpy neighbors, spirits wander around with a bit too much personality, and even something as simple as a crab cooking curry can turn into a life lesson.
This isn't your ordinary storybook. It is a treasure chest of timeless folktales carried down through generations from word of mouth. Long before Netflix or radio, people gathered around firesides, chewing betel nuts or seeping millet beer, while elders told stories that made children laugh, cry and sometimes peek over their shoulders in fright.
In these pages you will meet tigers who hold court like kings, rats who learnt the hard way that words matter, and wild cats who should have just aimed better. You will find love stories, trickster tales, and a few spooky adventures that make you look twice at a shadow.
But don't worry. These tales are not just about strange creatures or magic gone wrong. They are about us, our pride, our pride, our foolishness, our kindness, and our mistakes all dressed up in feathers, fur and folklore.
