Paperback GB-1. Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Grado, Janet (illustrator). Unmarked. ; Book Description; Spine has no signs of creasing. Pages are clean and not marred by notes or folds. Covers are square with minor wear. Ships Safe and Fast. 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.; B&W Illustrations; 7.80 X 5.50 X 0.30 inches; 87 pages.

THE BOY WHO MADE DRAGONFLY A Zuni myth retold by TONY HILLERMAN Illustrated by Janet Grado This Zuni Indian myth was first recorded over a century ago. "In our society" Tony Hillerman explains, "it 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." Tony Hillerman, arguably the best Anglo writer on Southwestern Indian themes, has written his version of the story to be read by children ten years old and up. Hillerman's adult fans will enjoy the tale as much as will their children. It concerns a drought in which the Zuni crops were ruined. The hero is a little boy who helps to save his people from this disaster. Signed by Author(s).
