Late at night around the campfires, Seminole children safely tucked into mosquito nets used to listen to the elders retelling the old stories and legends. The priceless tales of mischievous Rabbit, the Corn Lady, the Deer Girl, and the creatures of the Everglades are all written down and collected here for readers of all ages. This is a portrait of the beliefs and lifeways of the Seminoles of Florida as well as a delightful read for anyone interested in the first peoples of Florida.

About the Author:
Bettie Mae Jumper was a distinguished storyteller and served as the Director of Communications for the Seminole Tribe of Florida. She was the first Seminole Indian to graduate from high school, and she spent most of her career in tribal government, including time as Tribal Chairman and editor of the Seminole Tribune. Peter Gallagher is a journalist who has been writing about Florida and the Seminole people for more than forty years.
Review:
Only a few small communities of Seminole Indians exist in Florida today, but the stories and legends told to children late at night around the campfires, and handed down through generations, survive in the minds and hearts of tribal elders. For the first time, these stories have been set down for all to enjoy: rich tales that impart lessons about living in the natural world of Florida in harmony with its many inhabitants; that introduce adventurers good and bad, human and animal; that explain why the world is the way it is. You'll meet mischievous Rabbit, the Corn Lady, the Deer Girl, and many other characters. These priceless stories retold with a grave wit that will delight readers young and old. Each tale is illustrated with an original color painting by Guy LaBree. -- Midwest Book Review
