Description
An elderly woman receives an unexpected visit from the legendary Hang Tuah. Pari-pari, bunian, and other mythical creatures form friendships with humans—offering companionship, protection, and even love. Participating in the Unduk Ngadau binds a pragmatic university student to her culture in unexpected ways, while a lake in Sungeiway is briefly invaded by heaven.
A Spoonful of Malaysian Magic 2: Modern Folktale Retellings immerses you in a world that is both modern and magical, familiar and strange, as 14 Malaysian authors retell fairy tales and folklore from across Malaysia. Stir a little spoonful of magic into your tea, whether you’re from these shores or from far away.
