A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Long ago, animals did many of the things that people do: they organized towns, held meetings and dances, and made up games. Every animal had its own place, and each had a special job to do. Rabbit was the messenger; he was swift and sure-footed. But Rabbit was also mischievous, and his cunning ways were always getting him into trouble. In this collection of Cherokee tales, storyteller Gayle Ross and artist Murv Jacob, with a foreword by Chief Wilma Mankiller of the Cherokee Nation, bring together the many sides of Rabbit, the Cherokee Trickster-hero. As with all stories of the oral tradition, the Rabbit stories amuse, entertain, and educate. These stories are published in collaboration with Parobola, The Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition.
