Trickster Tales
26 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
American Indian Trickster Tales is a great way to spend the time, be it on a train, boat or jet. Myths and legends about the Coyote, the Spider-Man, the Raven and Master Rabbit. Shape shifters, fill of greed and cunning, this characters are always getting into trouble. The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes gross and sometimes a tad kinky, but they are old as the first humans to come to America and play an important part of Indian culture, past and present. But NOT for kids.

Amazing Book
27 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
If you like trickster tales or are interested in Native American folklore this is a great book. The stories are well told, the book itself is well organized. I love that the tales list what tribes they come from, it gives you a great sense of the different Trickster figures that appear in Native legends and stories. This is a must have book for anyone studying Native American stories and legends.
