Peace Tales

World Folktales To Talk About

BY MARGARET READ-MACDONALD

Brief Description:
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.
