Malay Spiritualism - With Some Other Notes on the Folklore of the Malaysian Peninsula (Folklore History Series)
Malaysia and the Malaysian peninsula are a bewildering mix of islands and jungle, full of an array of ethnic groups and tribes. The folklore of this part of the world is so rich and varied that it should be a valued book for anybody with an interest in exotic and fascinating folklore. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Malay Folklore
D Ruse's refreshing and witty approach to the telling of Malay folklore brings this often outdated and mysterious genre hurtling into the twenty-first century. Traditional Malay culture might be unfamiliar territory for the majority of Western readers; however, this collection succeeds in resurrecting the magic found in these tales, as well as creating a new, humorous take on how, with a little stretch of the imagination, they might just relate to the here and now! Malay Folklore: A Contemporary Retelling offers a tongue-in-cheek version of ten selected tales, and will certainly make its readers see this genre in a whole new light.

Malay Folk Beliefs
"In the present work the author discusses the characteristics of the contents of Malay folk beliefs. Besides Islam, which is the professed religion of the Malays, the folks in the kampung (village) still subscribe to the belief elements which they have inherited from their distant past. The author argues that these different elements which are derived from the animistic and Hindu-Buddhisitc period of the Malay history may seem to be disparate, but they are well-integrated in the world-view of the Malay folk beleifs".--BOOKJACKET.
