Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. McNamee, Gregory, editor. The bearskin quiver : a collection of southwestern American Indian folktales. Einsiedeln: Daimon Verlag, 2002. Daimon Folklore Library. Paperback, VG. A couple of small marks to the covers; spine slightly sunned. Binding strong. Pencilled ownership signature to half-title. 139pp. + publisher advertisements. Contents clean and bright. Once upon a time, an Apache story tells us, the trickster called Coyote killed a bear so that he could make a suitable quiver for his magical arrows. "You shouldn't have done that," someone warned Coyote. "That skin will only bring you bad luck." And so it has been for Coyote ever since, chased by bears and humans alike. In this charming collection of folktales from long ago, we read of the creation of the world, of the ways of animals, of the beguiling Coyote, of the world in which we live and other worlds that hide just beyond our sight. Drawn from the oral literatures of some twenty Southwestern American Indian peoples, these stories teach us about the constants of those dry places: about how the clouds form in the sky, how the heat rises from the ground, how the animals move about from one shady spot to another, and how the people once lived their lives. All these stories show us as the great anthropologist, Claude Lévi-Strauss, observed that folktales are not mere afterthoughts of literature, just pleasant stories to tell around the campfire, but rather valuable tools for reflection upon our own lives.
