Publisher's Note From the English legend of Robin Hood and the West Indian story of Anansi the Spiderman to the lesser known Native American story of the first snow and the Kikuyu myth of how men and women finally agreed, this collection is a compilation of 22 universally appealing tales from such places as Polyneisa, Estonia, North America, Mexico, and Kikuyu. Full color.
Industry Reviews "Willey's mixed media paintings and vignettes, with their jewel tones and Chagallian tipsiness, provide attractive embellishment for each tale." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush
