Malay Magic: An Introduction to the Folklore and Popular Religion of the Malay Peninsula (Oxford in Asia Hardback Reprints) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Briefly, the purpose of the author has been to collect into aB ook of Malay Folklore all that seemed to him most typical of the subject amongst a considerable mass of materials, some of which lay scattered in the pages of various other works, others in unpublished native manuscripts, and much in notes made by him personally of what he had observed during several years spent in theM alay Peninsula, principally in theS tate of Selangor. The book does not profess to be an exhaustive or complete treatise, but rather, as its title indicates, an introduction to the study ofF olklore, Popular Religion, and Magic as understood among theM alays of the Peninsula. It should be superfluous, at this time of day, to defend such studies as these from the criticisms which have from time to time been brought against them.
