The Turtle and the Island: A Folk Tale From Papua New Guinea
By Unknown Author.
Description
The Turtle and the Island tells the story of how the great sea turtle builds the island of Papua New Guinea. Wishing for a place to rest in the sun, he piles up the sand and rocks until they emerge from the sea into a beautiful, fertile island. In doing so, he finds a wife and a home for the lonely man in the dark cave, far beneath the waves. A beautifully-told creation myth with stunning illustrations. Retold by Barbara Ker Wilson and with glowing illustrations from Frané Lessac, this is a perfectly told folk story from Papua New Guinea. - from Amzon
