- Abstract
- en_US Here are seventeen bilingual tales on facing pages. The stories grow out of a project of careful recording of Samoan stories and songs. In fact, the musical staffs are inserted into the text to show the melodies of the songs in these stories. I have read the first five stories. They are folktales full of local color. Their subject seems often to be match-making. Frequently enough, the stories feature ogres. Usually the Samoan is on the left page and English on the right. 84 and 85 switch this approach. There is a helpful and extensive introduction (7-49). The pictures in this book are blue-colored photographs--e.g., of traditional fishing or boating--spread over two facing pages. Examples are on 59 and 75.
