Spirits of the wild
the world's great nature myths
Book - 1996
Spirits of the Wild is an enchanting collection of sixty nature myths from around the world, many of them hundreds, even thousands of years old. Each myth is charmingly retold by Gary Ferguson, one of the West's best-loved nature writers. You'll read "The Healing Waters" from the Iroquois, "Why Spider Has a Small Waist" from Liberia, and "When Sun Married Moon" from Togo, Africa; about lovers whose tears formed the rains in Vietnam; of how the meadowlark found his voice; about the first evergreen trees and the last bumblebees who sang like birds; and a whimsical story of how the hare climbed a spiderweb to heaven and stole the sun. Illustrated with exquisite line drawings by Douglas Smith.
