El Folk-lore Filipino. / Isabelo De Los Reyes ; with an English translation by Salud C. Dizon (Chapters one and two), Maria Elinora P. Imson (Chapter three).

This translation tries to convey the flavor, versatility, and power of Don Isabelo's very personal and inimitable style, by hewing the English version as closely as possible to the original Spanish text without, however, neglecting the peculiar genius of the English language. Hence the very simple style, the words left untranslated as Don Isabelo obviously meant them to be, and the digressions he often indulged in. This undertaking aims to contribute to research efforts in Philippine folklore so that we Filipinos can know more about our ancient past. It is hoped that additional data on our folklore will provide students with a broader, richer perspective from which to view Philippine culture from the past up to the early years of the present century.
