Critics Review
-
“Marshall moves gracefully between personal memories and the mythical memories of his people…The grace and love in this book are to be widely shared.”
Booklist
-
“The lessons for life, which stress the proverbial attributes of common sense and moral vigor, may not be surprising, but the stories that frame them will be new and forceful to most.”
Publishers Weekly
-
“Delightful…[with] the lovely traditional music that accompanies the stories, the narrator’s calm and expressive voice, and the timeless wisdom the parables and fables convey. Solemn, insightful, and vivid, these stories evoke a tribal community gathered close, intently listening to an oral tradition that enlightens and inspires.”
