The stories were interesting and include story notes that tell you how Teresa Pijoan came across the stories. There was information also included to explain some parts that may have been confusing (although not always the case) and the Afterword went into details about Native American beliefs for those of us that are looking in.
What I found fascinating with this collection of stories was the fact you could hear the different storytellers in the telling of their stories. There was no individual voice but many, which is a blessing when you are reading about various tales.
Altogether a good introduction and a beautiful collection of various myths showing the "togetherness" of Native American beliefs. Due to the graphic nature of some stories I wouldn't offer it to a child. ( )
