This is a collection of over 50 short stories and poems, by women from various #readingoceania24 countries, including #newzealand, #fiji, #tonga, #papuanewguinea and, the one I‘m going for, #samoa.

Thank you so much for sending this to me Holly @Hooked_on_books - I really enjoyed it and also felt like I‘d learned a lot about the different cultures. I did prefer the more ‘modern‘ storytelling rather than the fables but there was a great mix.

Librarybelle Great photo! 6mo
Hooked_on_books Oh wonderful! I‘m glad it worked out. The store I found the books in is terrific for Hawaiiana (and apparently Oceania), so I‘m completely delighted! 6mo
