Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 4" X 7", 180 pages. This collection is divided into four major parts. First are the great myths--the stories of creation, of how the earth and men were made.Then there are the "little stories"--some that teach manners, behavior, and ethics, and others that explain everyday phenomena. The third group of stories dates from the arrival of the Spaniards and the classic horseback days of the 18th and early 19th centuries. And finally there are the stories of today--personal folklore, modern songs, and the tale of a long-lost sacred hymn given back to a Vietnam vetern in a dream. Seller Inventory # 003811
