Stories from the Marshall Islands (Pali Language Texts)

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.Jack A. Tobin is the author of 'Stories from the Marshall Islands (Pali Language Texts)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780824820190 and ISBN 0824820193.
