From the Publisher:
A Ring of Tricksters features some of the most entertaining and enduring characters in literature. A fiddling alligator is outsmarted by a wily rabbit; a clever deerlet wins a wrestling match with an elephant; a crafty turtle outwits a leopard and rides him like a horse. Newbery medalist Virginia Hamilton adds her own eloquent storytelling magic as she retraces the fascinating migration of stories, characters, and voices back to their beginnings. Gracefully complementing Hamilton's accessible style, National Book Award-winner Barry Moser infuses each tale with sly humor and high spirits, creating unforgettable animals alive with human emotion.
