The Indian Fairytale Book (Illustrated Edition)

Bag om The Indian Fairytale Book (Illustrated Edition)

These Indian fairy tales are chosen from the many stories collected by Mr. Henry R. Schoolcraft, the first man to study how the Indians lived and to discover their legends. He lived among the Indians in the West and around the Great Lakes for thirty years in the first part of the Nineteenth Century and wrote many books about them. When the story-tellers sat at the lodge fires in the long evenings to tell of the manitoes and their magic, of how the little boy snared the sun, of the old Toad Woman who stole the baby, and the other tales that had been retold to generation after generation of red children, time out of mind, Mr. Schoolcraft listened and wrote the stories down, just as he heard them. Contents: - The Boy Who Set a Snare for the Sun - Manabozho, the Mischief-maker - The Red Swan - The Celestial Sisters - Gray Eagle and His Five Brothers - He of the Little Shell - Osseoj the Son of the Evening Star - The Wonderful Exploits of Grasshopper - The Toad-woman - The Origin of the Robin - White Feather and the Six Giants - Sheem, the Forsaken Boy - Strong Desire and the Red Sorcerer - The Magic Packet - The Man With His Leg Tied Up - Leelinau, the Lost Daughter - The Winter Spirit and His Visitor - The Enchanted Moccasins - The Weendigoes and the Bone-dwarf - The Fire-plume - The Bird Lover - Bokwewa, the Humpback - The Little Boy-man - Wunzh, the Father of Indian Corn
