Description: The Boy Who Made Dragonfly by Tony Hillerman, Janet Grado Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A Zuni myth first recorded a century ago. Publisher Description As readers of Tony Hillermans detective novels know, he is a skilled interpreter of southwestern Indian cultures. In this book, first published in 1972, he recounts a Zuni myth first recorded a century ago by the anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing. Hillermans version of the story, written to be read by children ten years old and up, will have equal appeal for adults with an interest in Native American culture."In our society," Hillerman explains, "this would be called a Bible story. Like stories based on the Old Testament, this narrative is intended to teach both the history and morality of a people." It tells the consequences of a drought in which Zuni crops were ruined and the tribe was forced to accept charity from neighboring Hopis. Author Biography Tony Hillerman (1925-2008) was an award-winning author and newspaperman, best known for his mystery novels set in Navajoland. He was also the author of The Great Taos Bank Robbery and Other True Stories (UNM Press).
