This illustrated collection of 15 tales from the Cherokee oral tradition celebrates the character of the trickster-hero, Rabbit. We learn how Rabbit acquired his short stumpy tail, and why his nose is split in two; but above all we are treated to comic tales of his boastful, mischievous character, and his ability to trick his way out of danger. The stories explore contrasting values, such as honesty and deceit, greed and fair play, using colloquial language and dialogue, making them ideal for reading aloud.
