Description: This collection features popular animal figures from thirty Hopi folktales and myths. These entertaining tales reveal and teach important themes and sensibilities of Hopi culture, such as attitudes toward the environment, sexual conduct, and the past.

Ekkehart Malotki has compiled and meticulously edited Hopi and English versions of the tales in this bilingual edition. An introduction by the distinguished folklore scholar Barre Toelken examines the cultural context of Hopi oral narratives and draws upon recent scholarly perspectives on folktales to place the tales within a wider, comparative context.
