Mindanao State University, University Research Center
No longer sold new: look for it in a library, or for a used copy.
Tausug tales collected and translated by the university’s research centre.
This small book collects 13 Tausug folktales. It was published by the University Research Center of Mindanao State University in Marawi City as number 8 of its series Mindanao Art and Culture, and it runs to 106 illustrated pages.
Catalogues spell the title "Thirteen Tausog Folktales". A library record in Kedah, Malaysia, where a copy sits in the Ismail Hussein collection, names Raymond Llorca as editor. Library records give no date of publication, and none lists the 13 tales.
Cover from Open Library, shown to identify the book; its rights stay with the publisher.
