Reviews:
Indonesian Folktales
is worth reading--and keeping--for those who want to broaden their knowledge on traditional Indonesian culture. It is hoped that this kind of literature will reach a wide readership through publishing and literary discussions to preserve Indonesia's heritage.
—The Jakarta Post
March 27, 2005
Readers will be delighted with such a fresh and interesting collection of tales, many never before published, even in Indonesian. The extra materials enhance the understanding of each story and place it in proper cultural context. Impeccably documented.
—Story Bag
April/May 2004
As with other volumes in this series, the book begins with valuable information about the country....MacDonald has appended excellent source notes giving background on each tale....There have been few collections of Indonesian folktales readily available. Thanks to Libraries Unlimited for opening a window to traditions little known in the U.S. and countering the often grim headlines from Indonesia.
—Territorial Tattler
