African American Folktales: Stories from Black Traditions in the New World (Pantheon Fairy Tale & Folklore Library)
"Earthy and comedic...a rousing good read.... I suspect Mr. Abraham's book will be read a generation hence."--New York Times Book Review"Another masterful addition and accessible introduction to the captured myths of what the Mede calls 'God's Chiefdom'.... Sweeping across the continent...the juxtaposition of tribes and pacing of story lengths make for lively reading."--Washington Post Book World
