Editorial Reviews

Midwest Book Review
Only a few small communities of Seminole Indians exist in Florida today, but the stories and legends told to children late at night around the campfires, and handed down through generations, survive in the minds and hearts of tribal elders. For the first time, these stories have been set down for all to enjoy: rich tales that impart lessons about living in the natural world of Florida in harmony with its many inhabitants; that introduce adventurers good and bad, human and animal; that explain why the world is the way it is. You'll meet mischievous Rabbit, the Corn Lady, the Deer Girl, and many other characters. These priceless stories retold with a grave wit that will delight readers young and old. Each tale is illustrated with an original color painting by Guy LaBree.
