About this book
Sixteen months among the Tinguian of northwestern Luzon, in 1907 and 1908, gave Fay-Cooper Cole the myths collected in this 1915 study. He recorded most of them as texts and translated them partly in the Philippines and partly in America, helped by Dumagat, a Tinguian man who travelled with him. An introduction on the culture the tales reveal comes first, then tales of the mythical period, ritual and explanatory tales, fables and a closing set of abstracts. Footnotes explain obscure points for readers who do not know Tinguian life. The people live mainly in Abra and the mountains of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte.
