Animal Tales Of Sabah: A Cultural Heritage Of North Borneo
This series of delightful tales was recorded from all over Sabah. Living in close touch with nature, the tales show the appreciation and keen sense of observations of nature by the local communities. Working with the Forestry Department, Sabah Forestry Development Authority and more recently with the World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia it has been possible to travel all over the state and interact with the locals from whom these tales were collected. The author expresses grateful thanks to the different contributors whose names are given at the end of the different tales. While travelling the author had given lifts to villagers whose names were not known. The few tales that they related thus unfortunately do not bear their names. However, the author wishes to express his gratitude to these un-named narrators. There are many more such tales and it is the author’s hope that these tales will act as a catalyst for others to record not only tales on nature but also other oral traditions.
