Abstract:
Vengeful spirits, flying ogres, helpful teapots, and trickster tigers? That's just the start of this lively collection of Asian folktales, reimagined and retold in comics. The second volume of the Cautionary Fables & Fairy Tales graphic novel series is a thrilling, funny, and totally unexpected take on stories spanning the entirety of the Asian continent, with loads of lesser-known myths and legends from Tibet, India, Indonesia, and beyond.
