Synopsis
When Diane Wolkstein, herself a well-known storyteller, traveled throughout the Haitian countryside in search of stories, she harvested a rich collection of twenty-seven tales, each of which is illuminated by fascinating introductory notes. From orange trees growing at the command of a child to talking fish, these stories present us with a world of wonder, delight, and mystery.

Review
"This book is sheer delight. Grown-ups of all ages, as well as children of all ages, will revel in it.
--Lillian Ross, The New Yorker
--Katherine M. Briggs, author of The Anatomy of Puck and A Dictionary of British Folktales in the English Language
"Wolkstein is a handsome example of a Translator: a person who can bridge cultures in such a way as to bring understanding, wit, humor, and moral meaning along with the words."
--Barre Toelken, Journal of Latin American Literature & Arts
"It is a joy to have this book, not only to read it, but to listen to it. The Magic Orange Tree is a gift."
--P.L. Travers, author of Mary Poppins
