In this collection of Filipino riddles, editor Frederick Starr shares his firsthand experience collecting over 200 examples from various regions in the Philippines. Starr compares Filipino riddles to those of other cultures, noting their similarity in being a play of wit to describe an object or idea without actually naming it. While some riddles show influence from outside cultures, such as Spanish and religious influences, others are rooted in local customs and conditions. This book is a fascinating and unique look at Filipino culture and language through the lens of riddles.
