One of the most enduring characters in Native American mythology comes
boldly and brilliantly alive in sixty-eight tales of magic and wonder
from National Book Award–winning author Barry Lopez According to
Native American legend, Old Man Coyote created the earth and
humankind, arranged the heavens, and brought fire and death to the
world. Cunning and canny, he is a trickster, a devil, a warrior, a
lover, and a fool. A magical creature of insatiable appetites, he is
forever scheming, yet finds all too often that his ingenious intrigues
are ultimately turned back upon himself. In Giving Birth to Thunder,
Sleeping with His Daughter, critically acclaimed author Barry Lopez
presents sixty-eight adventurous, humorous, ribald, and often profound
Coyote tales gathered from forty-two different tribes, infusing
timeless lore with new life and wonder. This ebook features an
illustrated biography of Barry Lopez including rare images and
never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.
