I really enjoyed the Seneca Indian tales--Parker makes them come to life and makes the reader able to "see" the story in his or her own mind. The tales are very entertaining and often help illustrate a lesson. Readers of any age will love these stories--from age 9 to 90. As the editor of a book of Delaware legends, I appreciate a well-told story, and I sincerely recommend these.

I really enjoyed reading these stories as a child and now as an adult, my father used to read them to me as a child and they became a sort of bonding activity. My favorite story is about how the porcupine got its quills. Like all folktales there is a moral to each story. They are all highly entertaining, the language is vivid and detailed. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially families!
