The Enchanted Moccasins and Other Native American Legends

edited by Henry R. Schoolcraft. The author is thought to be the first man to study how the Indians (western) lived. Here's a collection of fairy tales and legends that were handed from generation to generation as spoken stories by the earliest Americans. Read them aloud or encourage your kids to dig in on their own. A mischief maker of a giant, Manabozho provides an amusing cautionary tale of consequences. The lovely story of Osseo, Son of the Evening Star may inspire story telling at your own hearth. The Dover edition, like many of their books, is abridged and adapted from an original historical volume. Every story is worth reading. Soft cover
