(3) 4-6 Illustrated by James Watts. Over two dozen folktales from the Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Lenape, and other Algonquian tribes are retold in graceful prose. Illustrated with sketchy line drawings, the brief selections include a creation myth, trickster tales, and animal stories both amusing and insightful. The collection concludes with cogent facts about the various Algonquian groups and information on each story's origins.
