As the Toba Indians of the Gran Chaco say, "There are worlds above the earth and worlds below." This collection of fourteen creation myths from the South American Indians is a dazzling introduction to both worlds.
Reviews
Belting's language is spare, rhythmic, and resonant, while Hillenbrand's powerful dark-toned art conveys a sense of primeval mystery. —Kirkus Reviews
…Hillenbrand's illustrations are appropriately dark and mysterious. His artwork is reminiscent at times of Gauguin (especially the female figures), but the palette is deeper, drawing heavily on earth tones. —Publishers Weekly
