Book Description

Here is the new edition of one of our most popular titles, revised and redesigned for a whole new generation of enthusiasts. Storyteller figures represent one of the more recent developments underway in Native American art today. And the continued demand for Mark Bahti's delightful book about these figures and the traditions from which they spring is a testament to their enormous appeal. Bahti has gathered together a new collection of storyteller figures to show the latest trends in the art form and has revised the text introducing each pueblo and its stories. New pronunciation notes help in reading them aloud, and new photographs illustrate the process of making the dolls. Pueblo Stories and Storytellers remains the most comprehensive and reasonably priced introduction to the subject on the market!
