"Stories and unheard voices from across historic Palestine, translated by navie Palestinians"--Back cover
Summary:"Over the course of several years, Ibrahim Muhawi and Sharif Kanaana collected tales from the regions of the Galilee, Gaza, and the West Bank and selected those that best represent the Palestinian Arab folk narrative tradition. Combing their expertise in English literature and anthropology, they bring to these folktales an integral method of study that unites a sensitivity to language with a deep appreciation for culture. Great care has been taken with the translations to maintain the original flavor, humor, and cultural nuances in tales that are at once earthy and whimsical and that also parallel stories found in the larger Arab folk tradition."--Back cover
