A Southern folktale in which kind Blanche, following the instructions of an old witch, gains riches, while her greedy sister makes fun of the old woman and is duly rewarded.

    Acts of vanity, trickery, quiet courage, and fraternal loyalty enrich this collection of African and Jewish folktales, retold by a master storyteller and illustrated with richly detailed paintings.

    And when the night tide comes in, the crashing waves offer him the freedom he craves. Full-color illustrations.

    

    This book is a collection of twelve stories about the Scottish travelling people's beliefs about evil, temptation, and suffering.
