In this companion volume to Grandmothers' Stories, the origins of these eight tales range from the Seneca of North America to the Yoruba of Nigeria. Different types of heroes and gods are exemplified, including Asklepios, the ancient Greek healer, and Quetzacoatl, the Aztec god who created the first people. The detailed paintings are dense with color but are sometimes too small to make out clearly. Bib.
