Review(s):
“A tribute to the art of storytelling. . . highly recommended.” —Library Journal
“Card has uncovered a rich vein of folklore and magic here, to which his assured handling of old time religion and manifest love of children is admirably suited: an appealing and intriguing effort.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A beguiling book. . . robust but reflective blend of folktale, history, parable and personal testimony, pioneer narrative. The series promises to be a story of deep delight.” —Publishers Weekly
