The Red Indian Fairy Book: For The Children's Own Reading And For Story-Tellers

A collection of over 60 authentic American Indian tales, originally published over 100 years ago in 1917. Included here are nature stories, moral stories, and legends of how things came to be, with 18 beautifully detailed drawings. Children and adults alike will enjoy these fascinating and imaginative stories. The tales are arranged according to the seasons. There are some for early spring, when the maple sap mounts, and the arbutus blooms under the snow; for later spring, when the birds nest, and the wild flowers blow; for summer, with its heat, storms, fishing, and canoeing; for autumn, with its corn, nuts, Witch-Night, and harvest feast; for winter, with its ice, snow, and adventures. In choosing themes for these stories, a large body of folklore of many tribes has been gone over. The character and spirit of the original stories have been carefully preserved. • • • • • • • • • • Ephalant Press Revived Editions is dedicated to bringing great books from bygone eras back to life as digital editions, so you and your children can discover, or rediscover, the simple pleasure of these works, which take you back to simpler times and fundamental values.
