The Deetkatoo: Native American Stories about Little People

153 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-688-14837-9
(2) 4-6 Once again, a Bierhorst collection is uncompromising and inviting, scholarly and accessible, otherworldly and down-to-earth. Unlike European fairies with their reputation for malevolence or at least trickery, the "little people" in the twenty-two brief tales assembled here from throughout the Americas are benevolent beings, dangerous only to those who would transgress the goodness offered.
