Around the campfire...

These stories have the fun, lessons, and morals that make you want to memorize them for the next time you're around a campfire. They're great, because like most tales, they can be summarized in two sentences, yet with the expansion of narrative detail you can imagine yourself in an old council ring with an elder speaking slowly, and dozens of children listening in amazement.The stories are quite short, quick to read, and very entertaining.
