Including stories from the 1700s to today, Choctaw Tales showcases the mythic, the legendary and supernatural, the prophecies and histories, the animal fables and jokes that make up the rich and lively Choctaw storytelling tradition. The stories display intelligence, artistry, and creativity as Choctaw narrators, past and present, express and struggle with beliefs, values, humor, and life experiences. Photographs of the storytellers complement the text. For sixteen tales, the Choctaw-language version appears in addition to the English translation. Many of these stories, passed down through generations, address the Choctaw sense of isolation and tension as storytellers confront eternal, historical, and personal questions about the world and its inhabitants. Choctaw Tales, the first book to collect these stories, creates a comprehensive gathering of oral traditions from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Each story brings to life the complex and colorful world of the Choctaw tribe and its legend and lore. The shukha anumpa include tall tales, jokes, and stories of rabbits, turtles, and bears. The stories of the elders are populated by spirits that bring warnings and messages to the people. These tales provide a spectrum of legend and a glimpse of a vibrant, thriving legacy.
Island Tales On the Makaloa Mat is a story by Jack London. Set in Hawaii, this adventure story takes the reader on a ride of colorful traditions the island is known for.
My second book is story after story coming from a vast and endless pit somewhere between my ear lobes.
The Stories in this little book have been set down almost in the same words in which they were told. How the telling of them came about is a very simple matter. Having three children, each of whom loved a Fairy Tale, it somehow became the fashion, on Sunday evenings, to tell them a story. On one occasion, when the youngest member was just about to be taken to bed, his sister said; “None of the books about Fairies ever say a word about Australia! Are there any Australian Fairies, Father?” Somewhat hastily, perhaps, I answered: “Why, yes, of course! Whole tribes of them!” Instantly the order went forth: “Then you will please tell us about them the very next time you tell us a story!”

This magical book contains three separate fairy stories. The first story is called The Ruby Queen and tells of the lazy story-teller named Slumber-Jack, who is sent on a mission to rescue the Ruby Queen from the clutches of the Grumbler Ghost. The second fairy story concerns an Ilkin who has to learn how to behave and earn the six gold buttons which will be worn on his emerald green jacket when he becomes a grown Leprechaun. The third magical tale is called The Flames Of Peridot and tells of a Hotpotch Chamelion named Johnny Hotfoot who is sent to retrieve the sacred vowels from the Word-Stealer. His mission takes him across mysterious seas. Each story contains twenty pictures from each story for children to colour in. The book will be loved by Children and Parents alike, finding hours of fun and interest in these original stories.
The latest work from Harold Scheub, one of the world's leading scholars of African folktales, is the broadest collection yet assembled with tales from the entire continent of Africa, north to south. It brings together mythic, fantastic, and coming-of-age tales, some transcribed more than a hundred years ago, others dating to modern-day Africa. Scheub includes the work of storytellers from major African language groups, as well as many storytellers whose work is not often heard outside of Africa. This anthology offers a classroom-ready collection that should appeal to any scholar of African literature and culture. Realizing that these tales are part of a dying art, Scheub writes for the inner ear in everyone, bringing an oral tradition to life in written form.
