Earth Care

Earth Care

World Folk Tales To Talk About

BY MARGARET READ MACDONALD
Forty-one tales, fables, poems, stories, and numerous proverbs from over thirty countries or ethnic groups for folks to talk about. Grouped by concept, these tales touch upon both human and ecological themes: caring for the land; caring for other creatures; how all things are linked; how human greed leads to disaster; how no thing is without value; how pollution returns to the polluter; how one person can make a difference; how to husband the future by heeding the experience of the past; and how to unite our voices on the Earth's behalf. By the author of Peace Tales.

Peace Tales

Peace Tales

World Folktales To Talk About

BY MARGARET READ MACDONALD
This book is a truly multicultural collection of proverbs and stories which explore the devastation and perils of war and the possibilities and promise of peace. The stories are many-layered and appropriate for a wide range of ages. Included are stories about a king who spills honey, and then says it is not his problem until it causes a war; some sandpipers and whales who get into a foolish fight that almost destroys their homes; a man who thinks that a gun makes him strong; and some monkeys who follow their leader into water that's too deep.
