Summary

"Anting-Anting Stories, and Other Strange Tales of the Filipinos" by Sargent Kayme is a window into the Philippines in the early 1900s. It tells many stories about Filipino life, traditions, and the supernatural. The reader can expect tales of powerful charms, called "anting-anting," that can protect people. The book probably includes folks from all walks of life: Filipino citizens, American soldiers, and maybe even some magical beings. The book gets started during a conflict between Tagalog natives and American troops. After the fighting ends, someone searches the dead for the powerful anting-anting of a leader, and it is probably the beginning of many strange and compelling sagas of culture, mystery, and the unknown.
