Great book

This book is an excellent source of stories for both children and adults. Well worth the price!

Beautiful!

This book is amazing. The stories are beautifully written and the sketches inside are some of the best I've even seen.

Truth in story/picture form

This book as a masterpiece both in its writings and the wonderful illustrations provided by Lynn. I have found this book to be inspiring, uplifting and full of truth. The stories written are not fables, but truths in story/picture format for people of all gender/nationalities/age levels to learn from. Lynn has taken the truths of the Cherokee Nation and presented them in a fashion where we can see, understand, know the way to live our lives in a respectful, peaceful, honorable way. The illustrations in the book are awesome. Beautiful artistic talent. I am looking forward to more books from Lynn. Thank you Lynn for taking the time from your busy life to carry forth truth in the manner which Creator has directed. I feel every home, every library should have this marvelous book to learn from.Linn Bailey, author "Indian Summer" ironangel@attbi.com

Spiritually Inspiring

This book is a wonderful collection of Cherokee legends passed from generation to generation, which are still being told today by the elders. These inspiring stories are ones that will enlighten the masses. These stories will touch every socio-economic class, religion, race, and background. It is the most interesting book I have read in a long time. It tells the stories of children at play, things that happened around the sacred Cherokee reservation. Stories in which only the "Little People" could have played a part. These are real stories that continue to develop in the present and will continue developing in the future. This is a never-ending story that I look forward to reading again. It was entertaining and educational. The American Indian was and still is the epitomy of freedom. I beleive that this book emphasizes the importance of studying American Indian history and customs. Although this book is a "story book", it has a certain reality reflected in today's belief that the "Little People" are still a part of everyday life. It has a factual side that should not be ignored.In closing, this book is the perfect mixture of intriguing, mythical stories and factual events that have shaped, not only the legacy of the American Indian, but also the legacy of this great country in which we live. We must not forget the peoples who first cultivated, depended on, and loved this great land.
