Malaysian Fables, Folk Tales & Legends (Ebook)

This is a reprint of fables from three volumes - Fables & Folk Tales from an Eastern Forest (1901) by Walter Skeat, as well as Edwin H Gomez’s Seventeen Years Among the Sea Dyaks of Borneo (1911) and Two Dyak Legends (1904). Both Skeat and Gomez were anthropologists of the British colonial period, who brought to a wider reading public home-spun stories that had enthralled many on both the Malay Peninsula and in Borneo.
