Nice collection for daily practice. I have Spanish and a little Russian under my belt, why not add a pre-colonial Philippine script?
Nice vintage look, will look great for any BBQ or Aswang Adventure activities. 👍
Great, interesting topic. Love that it's bilingual with just enough information. Nice illustrations too
It's distinctive, I loved that I can reference this Philippine myths and monsters to its specific place
Can't wait to read this work. Beautiful illustrations. The first volume was sublime. Hot Tropiks has been an exceptional service since I began making purchases.

Excellent start to the vast cultural diversity in the islands……missed more Moro folklore….but hopefully this book will inspire interest in more……
Cute bag, makes me smile. Got an extra one for a friend who will appreciate the reference.
Lovely collection of myths and folklore. The included art is also spectacular, doesn't hold back from the spookiness.
It's lovely to get a copy of this book!
