I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Created by Native American authors and artists, this anthology explores legends and folktales from the First Nation. I was deeply touched by all these stories. They are all beautifully written and illustrated, sharing mysterious, funny and emotional past and
The anthology opens with As It Was Told To Me, an Odawa creationist legend, and ends with By The Light Of The Moon, a S’Kallam love story between the Moon and the Octopus Queen. In total, this anthology contains 8 stories, all very different from one another’s, but all rooted in old beliefs : tricksters, monsters that were once humans and forbidden loves are among the things you will discover in this great collection.
This graphic novel is part of the Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales series and the quality of this book amazed me so much that I want to discover the other anthologies previously published !

only give 3 stars to the book. Had high expectations from the publisher as I have read some other books by them. Stories are not at all creepy enough like they claim. So be ready for a very light read. Show Less

Although this is part of the series Cautionary Fables & Fairytales some of these tales are as enlightening and reassuring as some of the fearsome cautionary tales that are included. The collection of traditional tales told by the first people to settle in what are now Canada and the United States

is told in graphic novel form by authors and illustrators descended from these first people. As such it’s a wonderful addition to any collection of fables, folklore and fairy tales. Show Less
