I teach 4th grade in Newark, New Jersey, and wanted to do some work on the Lenape with my kids. The stories in this book were so appealing to them that they tell them to each other and act them out when I read them. Their favorite story is the one about the White Deer, because of the gory scene where a person gets their legs bitten off by a monster, but then sticks them back on with spit. I highly recommend these stories if you can stand the imagery.
Always interesting to hear what other persons are saying and telling others. The stories are intriguing and made me think.
The book is ok however it is not the book that I thought I was ordering. Thatwas my mistake and not the seller or descripton.
