Norma Jean

Folklores from Around the World Volume 2: an Anthology of Folktales Norma Jean First edition

There are forty-four stories contained in this anthology of stories. It is the third volume and all of them are guest stories. I take no credit for these stories. Many are my personal favourites, retold to my grandchildren for their enjoyment and edification. These tales run the gamut of legendary characters legends and folklores from around the world and countries such as the Unicorn, Captain Ahab, Jonah, and countries such as Greece, USA, Vietnam, China, Europe, Inuit folktales, Japan, India, Scandinavia, Australia and Congo to name a few. I hope to teach readers that all cultures are unique in their own rights and to instil in them respect for all cultures and all people regardless of their religious beliefs or cultural background. People are all the same despite cultural and linguistic differences. Be tolerant of all people in every circumstance. Do not judge others by the clothes they wear, the colour of their skin, their accent or the type of food they consume. We are all human beings and there is one language we all know how to speak: the language of Love. With love and tolerance, all barriers can be broken. A smile speaks a thousand words and gives off enough energy to warm the heart.
