5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun adventure into Cherokee folkfore with fabulous art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aunt Mary, Tell Me a Story: A Collection of Cherokee Legends & Tales (Paperback)
I grew up on these stories (Aunt Mary is my great aunt) and am raising my son on them from this book. Each story takes the reader/listener back into a time when animals spoke, witches lurked, and the earth was truly alive with magic. The art adds food for the imagination as Aunt Mary tells you stories of the witch--Spearfinger, how the Smokies were created and many more.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Aunt Mary, Tell Me a Story: A Collection of Cherokee Legends & Tales (Paperback)
This is a very good collection of stories as told to the author during her growing up years. It is written in the local vernacular and is very entertaining. I found it useful to read some of the same stories I have heard from other sources with slight variations demonstrating local flavor.
I consider this book a must read for anyone studying Native American lore. |
