About this product

Product Information

As readers of Tony Hillerman's detective novels know, he is a skilled interpreter of southwestern Indian cultures. In this book, first published in 1972, he recounts a Zuni myth first recorded a century ago by the anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing. Hillerman's version of the story, written to be read by children ten years old and up, will have equal appeal for adults with an interest in Native American culture. "In our society," Hillerman explains, "this would be called a 'Bible story.' Like stories based on the Old Testament, this narrative is intended to teach both the history and morality of a people." It tells the consequences of a drought in which Zuni crops were ruined and the tribe was forced to accept charity from neighboring Hopis.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    "Great Children's Book"

    This is a wonderful children's book. Lovely depiction of a Zuni Myth. Read it many years ago and wanted a copy to keep.

    A gift of love and spirit woven in a Zuni (bible) story. It keeps giving.

    This is a wonderful re-telling of a Zuni(Bible)tale. It is excellent book for all ages. It would make a great gift partnered with a Zuni fetish. I never tire of this story about a gift of love from a boy to a sister, an elder and the Spirits. Enjoy.

    I haven't had time to read this children's book yet, but my husband read it and liked it. I read every Tony Hillerman I can find and I hope he keeps writing more of the Leaphorn and Chee adventures!!!
