This collection contains ten folk stories in Modole, a Papuan language of the North Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. They were first published in 1916 by Dutch missionary G.J. Ellen and appear here re-edited, translated into English and with interlinear glossings.
In addition, the book offers the first grammatical description of Modole, as well as information on the Modole people and their culture and environment.
