I
had never read a single one of the stories and poems contained in
Native American Classics
, making it a very enlightening read. As in all the
Graphic Classics
volumes,
Native American Classics
contains a wide variety of stories and art.
O
ut of the eighteen in this anthology, my favorite, both for story and artwork, was
A Prehistoric Race
by Bertrand N. O. Walker, illustrated by Tara Audibert. Walker's story is a fun legend with a great ending and Audibert's art adds to the whimsy.
A
nother funny tale was
The Story of Itsikamahidish and the Wild Potato
by Buffalo Bird Woman and Gilbert L. Wilson. For art, Afua Richardson's illustrations in
Anoska Nimiwina
are simply beautiful. Anyone looking to gently delve into Native American literature will enjoy Native American Classics.
