Kamala · Feminist Folktales From Around the World

In this second volume of reissued classic folktales, a Punjabi woman outwits seven ruthless thieves, an Incan girl restores harmony to the empire, and a mischievous Norwegian lass thwarts her entitled landowner. Spanning several centuries and continents, the stories in *Kamala* recall how it's the dazzling courage, cleverness, and power of women that hold our world together.

**Ethel Johnston Phelps** (1914-1984) held a master's degree in Medieval Literature, co-edited a Ricardian journal, and published several articles on fifteenth-century subjects. She compiled two anthologies of feminist folk tales from around the world, *Tatterhood* and *The Maid of the North*.
