From the rear cover
'The Punishment of the Stingy, ' first published in 1901, has become a classic of American Indian literature. George Bird Grinnell's retelling of Indian tales like 'The Star Boy, ' 'The Girl Who Was The Ring, ' 'The First Medicine Lodge, ' and 'Nothing Child' retains the humor and mystery of their sources.
