Indeed folklore, legends and myths from Africa, Australia, Polynesia, and some from Asia too, can be altogether quite different and seem to have originated on the whole from separate reservoirs of lore, legend and culture.","brand":"Abela Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075484631280,"sku":"2940158117916","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158117916_p0.jpg?v=1764109843","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158117916","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
