Judson gathers short myths from the Native peoples of California, Arizona and New Mexico, many drawn from the work of earlier ethnologists. Old Mole and Spider make the world, the Zuni fathers climb up from four dark caves, and animals test their strength by leaping up a great rock, alongside tales of the first people and the origin of fire.
