Summary: Tales drawn from the Anishinabeg oral tradition
Review: Compiled and edited by Anne Dunn, Winter Thunder: Retold Tales is a compendium of forty imaginative tales drawn from the Anishinabeg oral tradition. Taken as a whole, this anthology of engaging stories offers keen and loving insights into the mythic origins of the natural and supernatural worlds around and within the reader. Living on the Leech Lake Reservation near Cass Lake, Minnesota, Anne Dunn is an Anishinabeg grandmother and elder story-teller who has provided a compelling and invaluable contribution to Native American folklore studies. Also very highly recommended are her previous books: Grandmother's Gift (Holy Cow! Press) and When Beaver Was Very Great (Midwest Editions).
