AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Based on an Indonesian folk tale from the 14th century, this is the story of Rangda, a powerful witch who curses the whole kingdom when no one will marry her daughter because no-one wants a witch as a mother-in-law! The king tries to fight fire with fire, but soon realises that only wisdom can defeat the witch's terrible power.' (Source: Author's website)
