The Inland Whale - Nine Stories Retold from California Indian Legends (Paperback, 2 Revised Edition)

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: "Thanks to Mrs. Kroeber's simple, supple style, the stories all succeed as stories; they please, engage, move, or divert without depending for their effect on their exotic source."--"The New Yorker" "The varying but almost always superb story style of these narratives will speak to all."--"New York Herald Tribune ""This is a jewel of a book."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "These stories enlarge life. They remind us of Shakespeare and Aeschylus. . . . That Mrs. Kroeber's book should generate such thoughts is proof of its power and beauty."--"New York Times Book Review
