Here is the magical Senecan world populated by unseen good and evil spirits, ghosts, and beings capable of transformation. Included are creation myths, folktales involving contests between mortal youths and assorted powers, tales of love and marriage, and stories about cannibals, talking animals, pygmies, giants, monsters, vampires, and witches. In a new introduction to this Bison Book edition, William N. Fenton, an emeritus professor of anthropology at SUNY-Albany, writes about Parker's unparalleled contribution to the preservation of Iroquoian folklore.
