In The Soul of the Indian, Eastman brings to life the rich spirituality and morality of the Native Americans as…
they existed before contact with missionaries and other whites. This is a rare firsthand expression of native religion, without the filters imposed by translators or anthropologists. Rather than a scientific treatise, Eastman has written a book, "as true as I can make it to my childhood teaching and ancestral ideals, but from the human, not the ethnological standpoint." His discussions of the forms of ceremonial and symbolic worship, the unwritten scriptures, and the spirit world emphasize the universal quality and personal appeal of Native American religion. Adult.

familiar with the Ojibwa legend of Sleeping Bear Dunes, and most have heard a yarn or two told of Michigan's herculean lumberjack, Paul Bunyan. But what about Detroit's Nain Rouge, the red-eyed imp they say bedeviled the city's earliest residents? Or Le Griffon, the Great Lakes' original ghost ship that some believe haunts the waters to this day? Or the Bloodstoppers, Upper Peninsula folk who've been known to halt a wound's bleeding with a simple touch thanks to their magic healing powers? In Michigan Legends, Sheryl James collects these and more stories of the legendary people, events, and places from Michigan's real and imaginary past. Set in a range of historical time periods and locales as well as featuring a collage of ethnic traditions--including Native American, French, English, African American, and Finnish--these tales are a vivid sample of the state's rich cultural heritage. This book will appeal to all Michiganders and anyone else interested in good folktales, myths, legends, or lore.By Christopher Bunn, Gabriela Fuenzalida. 2015
ROSAMONDE Quizá les es familiar la historia de la Bella Durmiente, por mi parte, siempre la he creído aburrida, así…
como el resto de los cuentos; ha sido relatada de muy diferentes maneras: algunas malas, algunas pasables y otras simplemente horribles. Ustedes ya saben de qué se trata: al enterarse de que no la invitan al bautizo de la recién nacida hija de los reyes, la malvada bruja se enfada y la pone bajo un conjuro mil veces peor que el agravio. Luego de crecer y llegar a ser insoportablemente bella, un día se pincha el dedo con una rueca y cae dormida por miles de años... hasta que con un dulce beso un guapo príncipe la despierta y rompe el hechizo. Ellos viven felices por siempre, hasta que mueren de viejos. Aunque en esta historia no se habla ni de viejos ni de muerte, porque la gente no gusta mucho de leer acerca de gente vieja que muere. De todos modos, aquella historia es una sarta de mentiras, lo sé muy bien, porque la historia de la Bella Durmiente se basó en mi historia.By Christopher Bunn, Silvia Beghelli. 2015
