The Cherokee husband-and-wife team who recorded and translated
these folktales in 1961 helped to preserve the lore of seventeen
elder Oklahoma Cherokees. This volume includes a wide variety of
folklore; talking-animal stories, tales of a dragon-like creature
and other monsters, accounts of little people inhabiting the hills
of eastern Oklahoma, variants of European tales, fragments of
Cherokee mythology and cosmology, and legends and lore of
historical personages and events. The authors present the stories
exactly as they were told, adding brief comments to place the
stories clearly in the context of Cherokee life and thought.
Musical notations are included wherever a song formed part of a
story.
