Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Good. Front hinge cracked. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Illustrated. From the Foreword: Someone must explain, what Miss Fox herself was doubtless too modest to explain, how largely this story is actual fact. It is the story of a real Safeway Tribe. Miss Fox was its tutelary deity, or whatever one calls the being out of whose heart and brain a tribe of Indians springs. Whether there was a real South American uncle or a real Hippo, I do not know. But I do know that the children of the Jefferson School of Bakersneld, California, did have a Safeway Tribe that had as interesting a place in the life of the city as the Safeway Tribe of the story. Knowing how to take care of oneself is just as important for modern children as it was hundreds of years ago for little Indian boys. The particularly nice thing that Miss Fox has done for us in this story is to show us that learning how to avoid danger and how to face danger can be just as interesting and thrilling and even charming for the children of to-day as it was for these little Indian children of long ago.
