INDIAN FOLK TALES. By Mary F. Nixon-Roulet. © 1911 Published by the American Book Company, New York. 7½\" x 5¼\" cloth hardcover edition, no dustjacket. Illustrated. 192 pages.

Condition: VERY GOOD ANTIQUE CONDITION. This 104-year-old has a clean, attractive and unworn exterior. Text is clean and complete. Binding is firm. No torn, loose or missing pages. A previous owner added a pastedown to the inside front cover containing a brief description of the book, along with its original price (looks like it was transcribed from a catalog).

Description:

This is a beautiful and compelling collection of thirty Native American folk tales collected from a variety of tribes and published in 1911. The stories are told in the simple yet colorful language of legends, which means they can be enjoyed by either children or the most sophisticated reader.
