Description
"The well-known author retells 24 black American folk tales in sure<br>storytelling voice: animal tales, supernatural tales, fanciful and cautionary<br>tales, and slave tales of freedom. All are beautifully readable. With the added<br>attraction of 40 wonderfully expressive paintings by the Dillons, this<br>collection should be snapped up."--(starred) "School Library Journal."
