Stories from the Marshall Islands/Bwebwenato Jan Aelon Kein: English/Marshallese (Pali Language Texts)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Among Marshallese the ri-bwebwenato (storyteller) is well known and respected, a living repository and transmitter of traditional history and culture. Here are ninety folktales and stories of historical events, collected and translated into English during the third quarter of the twentieth century. They include tales of origins, humanlike animals, ogres, and sprites--some malevolent, some playful. Many are presented in the original language and are amplified by extensive commentary. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

About the Author
Jack A. Tobin began this study half a century ago, when he arrived at Arno Atoll as part of an anthropological expedition. To this day he remains in close contact with people and life in the Marshall Islands. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
