A propos de cet article

First Edition. Original publisher's blue cloth binding. Gilt lettering and small gilt decoration on spine. Gilt illustration on front. 5 1/2" x 7 1/2." 338 pages, complete. Four black-and-white plates, complete. Illustrations by John McLenan and engraved by A. V. S. Anthony. List of Illustrations in front. Eight additional pages in back advertise books from the Allen Brothers' Catalogue of Choice Juvenile Books. Pages are very clean and intact except for occasional spots of foxing or discoloration (most noticeable on first and last few leaves) and a former owner's ink gift inscription ("Johny Leech from Uncle Ben") on front free endpaper. Covers are clean and intact overall except for a slight lean in binding toward fore-edge, slight wear to extremities, several small stains on front and back, and darkening on front, back, and spine. A Very Good copy. A collection of Indigenous folk tales, myths, and legends as re-interpreted by editor Cornelius Mathews. In his Preface, Mathews writes that his intention for this work is to present his own interpretation of Indigenous folklore based on Henry R. Schoolcraft's interpretation of the original legends. Mathews likens these Indigenous folk tales to other folk tales such as Arabian Nights, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood. Titles of the stories contained in this volume: "The Celestial Sisters," "The Boy Who Set a Snare for the Sun," "Strong Desire and the Red Sorcerer," "The Wonderful Exploits of Grasshopper," "The Two Jeebi," "Osseo, the Son of the Evening Star," "Gray Eagle and His Five Brothers," "The Toad-Woman," "The Origin of the Robin," "White Feather and the Six Giants," "Sheem, the Forsaken Boy," "The Magic Bundle," "The Red Swan," "The Man with His Leg Tied Up," "The Little Spirit or Boy-Man," "The Enchanted Moccasin," "He of the Little Shell," "Manabozho, the Mischief-Maker," "Leelinau, the Lost Daughter," "The Winter Spirit and His Visitor," "The Fire-Plume," "Weendigoes and the Bone-Dwarf," "The Bird Lover," "Bokwewa the Humpback," "The Crane That Crossed the River," and "Wunzii, the Father of Indian Corn.".…
