This collection of folktales provides readers with an extensive overview of the breadth of Tibetan culture, revealing the character of the region and its people as well as their traditional customs and values.

Most Westerners are unlikely to travel to the mountainous region of East Asia and experience the Tibetan people and their culture directly. This book provides a way to experience and learn about this remote nation through carefully selected Tibetan folktales that provide readers with a unique glimpse into Tibet's culture, its people, and the land itself through the window of folklore.

Providing a unique resource that can serve both as a storytime aid for educators who work with primary school students and a valuable reference for Eastern folklorists, Tibetan Folktales contains more than 30 traditional Tibetan stories that give readers a taste of the land, people, culture, history, religion, and psyche of this remote country. The tales are gathered from contemporary Tibetan storytellers and translated from written sources to represent the rich oral and written literary tradition of Tibet's culture. In addition, the book supplies tutorials for Tibetan crafts and games, a sample of recipes, and photographs and illustrations that create a multidimensional experience of Tibetan culture.

Haiwang Yuan is professor of Library Public Services at Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY. His published works includes Libraries Unlimited's The Magic Lotus Lantern and Other Tales of the Han Chinese.

Awang Kunga is a Tibetan storyteller and assistant to the Lama at the Yonge Tibetan Buddhist Temple in Beijing, China.

Bo Li is with the North China Electric Power University in Beijing, China. Her primary interest is in Chinese culture, Tibetan Buddhism in particular, and she is devoted to international cultural exchanges.
