From the Greathall site: Classics of many lands— wisdom from China and Japan, an African romance, wildly funny Native American, Arabian and Spanish tales— show that the human beings who tell them all are related.

A Guest Who Ran (Native American)
Two Monks (Japan)
The Three Friends of Manuel (Spain)
Courting the Wind (West Africa)
The Secret Weapon (China)
Djuha: Two Stories (Arabic)

We greatly enjoyed this one. I love Weiss's characterization of Manuel's mother in "The Three Friends of Manuel."
