The book has firm binding and clean pages. There are no markings. ~ The best of the American Indian myths are works of art, blending form and content into a whole in which the great themes of human experience are interwoven much as they are in a short story or novella. Each one distinct in metaphorical and narrative convention, these 64 carefully selected myths and tales represent over 40 cultures, including Chippewa, Mohawk, Eskimo, Iroquois, Aztec, Maya, Zuni and Navajo. Includes "The Red Swan," "Flight of Quetzalcoatl," "The Rival Chiefs," "The Hungry Old Woman," "Two Friends," and others. It's valuable both for its scope and for the superb quality of the stories themselves.
