The Brown Fairy Book

Venture into the untamed imaginations of the American Indians, Australians, and Africans in this distinct volume of folklore. The stories depart from the European castle-and-king motifs to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Trickster animals, shapeshifters, and elemental spirits dominate the narratives, offering a glimpse into the diverse cosmologies of indigenous peoples. It is a celebration of the oral traditions that explain the mysteries of the wild.
