tailieunhanh - Britannica Discovery Library: Legends, Myths, and Folktales

Each chapter opens with an overview provided by Erdoes and Ortiz. There are occasional editorial explanations at the ends of stories. They should expecially be applauded for including stories with humor. As someone with Indian ancestry, but not a traditional Indian upbringing, I enjoyed the experience of spiritual concordance with the basic philosophies, no matter which tribe or region of the country was being presented. The book is easily readable by most age groups; parents of younger children could read these as entertainment and even bed-tiime stories. I consider this akin to a Bible of American Indian spirituality | LEARNING LIBRARY Legends Myths and Folktales Celebrate the stories that have moved the world for centuries Chicago London New Delhi Paris Seoul Sydney Taipei Tokyo PROJECT TEAM Judith West Editorial Project Manager Christopher Eaton Editor and Educational Consultant Kathryn Harper .
