Don Tate.
The richness of African-American folklore is brought to life in five funny stories of the trickster, remembered from the author's North Carolina childhood. The introduction acknowledges the place of Joel Chandler Harris in making the stories available, but McGill credits her neighbors in telling them in more authentic and economical language. The exaggerated humor of the acrylic paintings echoes the stories.
