The adventures of Piang, the Moro jungle boy : a book for young and old

Piang is a young Moro boy who knows the tangled jungles and crystal rivers of Mindanao like the back of his hand. When a mysterious creature stirs beneath the water, he dives in, spear in hand, ready to face whatever lurks in the depths. His courage is matched by a quick wit that guides him through the island’s hidden valleys and secret waterfalls.

Each episode in the collection whisks listeners to a new wonder: an enchanted charm boy who seems to control the wind, a floating island that appears out of mist, a reclusive hermit guarding ancient knowledge, and a fire‑tree that glows with a strange light. Piang’s encounters with rival tribes, daring river rides, and puzzling jungle mysteries keep the action lively while revealing the rich customs of the Moro people.

The stories are narrated with vivid language that brings the tropical world to life, complemented by illustrations that capture the drama of each scene. Ideal for both children and adults, the tales offer a blend of excitement and a respectful glimpse into a culture overlooked in adventure literature.
