Trickster figures are common across all mythologies–most people these days know of Loki, the Norse trickster–but not that many people are familiar with the tricksters of other cultures, and even fewer know the stories of these figures.
The story tellers were drawn from tribes all over over North America
Each story has it's own style, both in the story telling and the art.
It's a lovely collection, and for everyone middle school and up.
