Anyone interested in mythology or Native American legend and lore will welcome this treasury of authentic tales presented in the context of Cherokee history, life, and culture.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486289079\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0486289079.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mooney, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
