Book is a window to the world. By reading book we will
open the window, then see and know about the world that we
haven't known before.
Books that can broaden insight and knowledge and it is
not only about present, but also about past life. Old literary works
that load information on past life needs to be presented again in
today's life because it saves a lot past stories that have big role in
organizing life today.
In North Sumatra there are various kinds folklore (myth,
legend, fairy tale) that develop and become the basic of the
identity of the region. This folktale also used as advice and
teachings material for parents, teachers, and also become a
tradition that is still believed by the people who own it. However,
because young generation tends to enjoy the foreign soap opera
and film shows on television, the fate of the old folklore is no
longer popular, forgotten and finally lost.
For this reason, the book of the Lake of Tador is
presented for you. The book needs to be welcomed with joy
because it is a form of love for culture and as an alternative effort
to preserve folklore of North Sumatra.
