About the Author
Born in 1897 at her grandmother's adobe home near Santa Barbara, Mary J. Yee was one of the few children of her generation to be brought up speaking a Chumash language. She heard and committed to memory many old Chumash stories spoken in her native tongue. Many years later she was to write down these stories while working with the noted anthropologist John P. Harrington. This little book, illustrated by Mary Yee's daughter Ernestine, in one of those stories.
