This stunning new collection features 16 classic tales as reimagined and retold by some of Malaysia’s brightest raconteurs.

Fictions that delve into the power of history and fable, that open our eyes to their importance, that are a testament to the enduring nature of our oral tradition. These are tales so immersive, so enticing, so welcoming, that you'll never want to click your heels and wish for home.
