Description

ILLUSTRATED EDITION If you look around more closely, you will definitely see that you don't need to invent anything: the most amazing tales come from Mother Nature. And Iroquois have always remained her own children. Therefore, nature was for them not only the foundation of all life, but also an inexhaustible source of amazing, sometimes fairy stories. The simplest people became heroes, and their adventures were kept for a long, long time in the memory of storytellers and in the evenings they came to life again and again at the burning fires.
