Overview
Full of third sons, talking birds, enchanted places, beautiful women and impossible journeys, these charmingly illustrated stories have a magic-realist, almost absurd quality, and they are told and translated with enough shamanstvo to keep you reading. In his introduction and extensive accompanying gloss, Michael Berman skilfully locates them in their historical, religious, storytelling and shamanic contexts with a scholarship that is both thorough and accessible, making it complementary to the reader's enjoyment. A nice collection. David RonderThe book, Georgia Through Its Folktales [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9781846942792 in Paperback by Michael P. Berman may be ordered in bulk quantities.
