Native American Tales and Legends - Macfarlan, Allan A.

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to upper back corner; age tanned; otherwise absolute minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; This exciting collection contains more than 30 richly imaginative stories from a variety of Native American sources - Cherokee to Zuni, Pawnee to Maidu - covering a broad spectrum of subjects. Included are creation myths, hero tales, and trickster stories, as well as tales of little people, giants, and monsters, and of magic, enchantment, sorcery, and the spirit world. Readers will find stories telling how the earth, people, and bison were created and how fire was discovered, while others introduce the hero Glooscap and the Maiden of the Yellow Rocks. Still other traditional tales tell of troubles Rabbit's boastfulness got him into, and about the clever ways Little Blue Fox managed to escape from Coyote.
