This anthology features a rich collection of traditional tales from the Indonesian archipelago, showcasing short stories, origin myths, historical legends, poetry, diary entries, news reports, and dialogues. With 20 stories presented in parallel English and Indonesian, it serves as an excellent resource for intermediate language learners. The tales, written in the national language, draw from various ethnic cultures and highlight the experiences of female characters, shedding light on the challenges women face in Indonesian society. This approach makes the stories both relevant and engaging for students, offering insights into the diverse regional cultures of the islands. Notable stories include a tragic love tale from West Kalimantan, blog-style reports from Borneo about freshwater dolphins and local challenges, and a Robin Hood-like hero from Jakarta who defended the poor during colonial times. Authors Katherine Davidsen and Yusep Cuandani, experienced language teachers, utilize these texts in their high school classes to meet International Baccalaureate and Cambridge IGCSE curriculum requirements. Each story is graded for difficulty and includes discussion questions, vocabulary lists, cultural notes, and online audio recordings, along with an extensive Indonesian-English glossary at the end.
