Tales from Moccasin Avenue : anthology of short stories from First Nations writers

O'Neil, Stafford, 1950- (editor.). Low, Bernard (illstrator.).

Summary: Tales From Moccasin Avenue is a collection of narrative prose by writers of Aboriginal descent from all over Canada. These stories reflect first and foremost the rich diversity of cultural expression through which Native writers are now making themselves heard. The pieces run the gamut from 'fact' to 'fiction', from animal fable to personal essay, from conventional short story to experimental prose poem." -- publisher's description
