Sobre este item
Houghton Mifflin, 1987. 1st Paperback Edition 25th Printing. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. Edgar Stewart B&W illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 1987 Houghton Mifflin Trade Paperback, 25th printing it appears. B&W illustrations by Edgar Stewart. This book has been around for a long time - and is definitely worth the read. CONTENT: For countless generations, Native American storytellers have watched the night sky and told tales of the stars and the constellations. The stars themselves tell many tales-of children who have danced away from home, of six brothers who rescue a maiden from the fearful Rolling Skull, of the great wounded sky bear, whose blood turns the autumn leaves red, and many more. "This well researched, thoughtful collection brings together star myths from such Native American tribes as the Navajo, Pawnee, Shasta and Micmac . . . Given the oral tradition of these tribes and the need to preserve the tales, this poetically rendered compilation is especially valuable." Publishers Weekly [Ages 10+.]
