Abstract

"This traditional oral legend describing the birth of the Ojibwa trickster and protector is skillfully revived by Joseph McLellan. With a practiced storytelling technique, he weaves the legend into the contemporary story he is also telling. In this story, two children visit their grandparents to hear legends and stories. But first they must help with the chores after supper, and having done that, the legend of how Nanabosho was born into this world begins."--Back cover.
