Summary: The Pitfalls of Vanity and Trickery
Comment: This anthology of 15 cautionary tales for Pueblo children--of all
ages--focuses on the antics and exploits of a typical figure in
the American Southwest: Coyote. Native American Aesop, this
story cycle depicts the protagonist as wily, greedy and vain--
exhibitng the foibles so typical of human beings. His repeated downfalls and frequent failures are examples of what to avoid or how Not to handle various situations. In general it is his vanity to improve his appearance, or his greed for other folks'
property or food which result in his deserved come-uppance.
Like these animals' ability to regenerate themselves after fatal disasters, these tales are timeless and universal in their appeal. Whether variants of one tale or adopted from outside cultures, COYOTE TALES will entertain and enlighten those wise enough to recognize the moral behind the clowning. The excellent
black and white illustrations reveal authentic anthropological detail about the lifestyle of the Pueblo nation.
