(2) 4-6 These fifteen stories concerning the otherworldly include folktales and more contemporary tales. The traditional stories make this collection stand out, and Hearne makes manifest the depth of symbolism that comes from the polish of centuries of oral tradition. The narrative aim of her contemporary tales is more transparent, but the contrast of styles makes for rich comparison. An afterword provides sources.
