Coyote Stories by Mourning Dove
Talks about Coyote, the trickster, the selfish individualist, the imitator, and the protean character who puts the finishing touches on a world soon to receive human beings. This work also features Mole, his long-suffering wife, and all the other Animal People. It reveals why Skunk's tail is black and white, why Spider has long legs, and more.
