This companion to the best-selling Once Upon a Time in Africa brings together stories that reflect the many cultures and peoples of Asia; from behemoth China to small Bangladesh and newly independent East Timor. While the Philippines is primarily Christian; in most Asian countries Christians form but a small percentage of the population. Asian Christians; Buddhists; Hindus; Muslims; Confucianists; and others have much to teach Westerners. Asia's myths; legends; and stories of real people today demonstrate the values of harmony and the wisdom of respecting others.
