Creatures of Kwento

This unique collection, carefully crafted by poets Alex and Shilyn Montgomery, explores the phenomenally rich mythological landscape of the Philippines through the perspective of the creature or the witness, accompanied with stunning artist depictions of the creatures! Creatures of Kwento's playful verses bring the readers into the whimsical world of folklore, while some chilling poetry will send shivers down the spine as it showcases the darker side of the mythos. As readers find their way through the book, they will also learn about the diverse variations of each creature throughout the archipelago, sourced from various writings and studies on the Philippines and the kwento (stories) passed down from generations before.
