The Songs of Salanda and Other Stories of Sulu by H. Arlo Nimmo

" In this engrossing collection of sixteen short stories, H. Arlo Nimmo tells of a young man coming of age while living among a remote cluster of islands in the southern Philippines with a people unlike any he had known. Nimmo combines an anthropologist's eye for the significant detail with a story-teller's gift for bringing his characters to life. His book is a vivid narrative of a people and their culture on the brink of momentous change." -Excerpts from the publisher's website.
