Excellent and informative, this collection of stories is also a goldmine of cultural, geographical and historical information about Mongolia and its people. The book is divided into separate chapters, each focusing on a different genre of narrative (myths, folktales, riddles, etc) or cultural enrichment. There are even some recipes! For folklorists, there is a list in back of all relevant folktale motifs used, organized by story. There are marvelous contemporary photographs from Mongolia as well Excellent and informative, this collection of stories is also a goldmine of cultural, geographical and historical information about Mongolia and its people.

There are marvelous contemporary photographs from Mongolia as well, indicating that their rich legacy of native traditions endures and thrives to this day; my favorite were the pictures of the mobile libraries delivering books to children throughout the country, by way of of camels! The stories are varied and dynamic, and the book itself is a valuable resource, highly recommended for both adults and school-aged kids.

I read this awhile back. Trying to clear out some books awaiting review! I can't imagine that there are a lot of books on Mongolian folklore out there, so this is a good find. I'm not an expert on the subject, but it seemed like a great introduction to me. In addition to categories of folklore such as myths, legends, humorous tales, proverbs, and so on, the book also contained supplemental information about the geography, history, etc. of Mongolia. This background info would be useful useful for I read this awhile back. Trying to clear out some books awaiting review!

This background info would be useful useful for anyone who doesn't know a lot about the culture. The tales themselves are well told. Of course, they have some things in common with folk and fairy tales around the world. There are also elements that are particular to Mongolia--for example, horses and camels play a prominent role in many stories. Mongolia is one of my areas of interest, for whatever reason. I started writing a fantasy short story set partially there and after reading some of this book, I discovered that my ideas had even more in common with these stories than I had thought! Anyway, this book is a great way to have some fun exploring a fascinating culture!
