4.0 out of 5 stars Around the campfire..., July 31, 2000

J. Redpath (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dee Brown's Folktales of the Native American: Retold for Our Times (Paperback)

These stories have the fun, lessons, and morals that make you want to memorize them for the next time you're around a campfire.

They're great, because like most tales, they can be summarized in two sentences, yet with the expansion of narrative detail you can imagine yourself in an old council ring with an elder speaking slowly, and dozens of children listening in amazement.

The stories are quite short, quick to read, and very entertaining.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Dee Brown's Folktales of the Native American: Retold for Our Times (Paperback)

I have read this book twice, separated by a couple of decades. From the first time to now I have grown in experience and wisdom. I have read more. In experience, I have lived and worked with Native Americans. I know them better than I did before.

This book gets ***** because I feel that it's expression of Native American culture is sensitive and sublime.

It's more than just the stories.
