This review is from: Native American Tales and Legends (Dover Children's Evergreen Classics) (Paperback)
Compiled by Allan MacFarlan, Native American Tales and Legends compiles myths and stories drawn from the title culture. Featuring more than thirty tales, Native American Tales and Legends feature heroic stories and allegories, folk tales, and tales of the spirit world among others, which is pretty much what anyone at all familiar with the Native American culture would expect. Children will enjoy the fairy tale-like quality and dreamlike states of many of the tales ("Manstin, the Rabbit" in particular) and followers of the culture will enjoy this collection even more so. The only real downside of Native American Tales and Legends is that more material wasn't included in this collection, and that no poetry from the culture is featured either, which contains just as much mythology and heart as any of the other stories featured here. Despite that, this is instantly worth picking up regardless.
