Product Description
Review
"The tales are woven with the wise counsel of Nanabush and the realities and mysteries of a way of life bound to the land, its seasons, wildlife, and remarkable weather, especially thunder and lightning. Maxine Noel's bright, dramatic paintings are mythological, sensuous, and romantic." -- Toronto Star
"The stories speak of times past; of mermaids and mermen; of love and human relationships with spirit beings; of tricksters, wit, and wile; and of seasons imbued with power and mystery. Maxine Noel's bold and graceful figures shimmer with movement and colour - bright reds, greens, and ethereal hues. These wonderful, mythical tales will enhance any library." --Canadian Book Review Annual

This review is from: Mermaids & Medicine Women (Hardcover)
I was hoping for more information and a more complete compilation of stories. It's rather short and most of the stories can be found elsewhere.
Listmania!
