It has a good foundation but it wasn't enough to grab me.
I hate to be so tough on this but some of the art wasn't enjoyable so I would skip whole stories. I'd like to see this again but maybe with a tougher editor and more information about the regions of the trickster stories. It was an ok read!
This book is a mix of folk tales. I truly enjoyed the imagery and the short stories. The stories of a people give a glimpse into culture. It's a quick read, but it could be extended by focusing on just one story per day or other unit of time.
Worth checking out.
I got it as part of a book bundle focused on local history from my library.
I really wanted to like this book, but I was bored for most of the stories. I was impressed by the wide range of cultural stories told throughout the book, but many came across as an oral tradition that didn't transfer well into print. The art is all over the place, but I do think that, for the most part, it fit with the style of the story being told.
