Cinderella In America written by William Bernard McCarthy and has been published by Univ. Press of Mississippi this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

For years many folklorists have denied the possibility of a truly American folk or fairy tale. They have argued that the tales found in the United States are watered-down derivatives of European fare. With this gathering, William Bernard McCarthy compiles evidence strongly to the contrary. Cinderella in America: A Book of Folk and Fairy Tales represents these tales as they have been told in the United States from Revolutionary days until the present. To capture this richness, tales are grouped in chapters that represent regional and ethnic groups, including Iberian, French, German, British, Irish, other European, African American, and Native American. These tales are drawn from published collections, journals, and archives, and from fieldwork by McCarthy and his colleagues. Created along the nationalist model of the Brothers Grimm yet as diverse in its voices and themes as the nation it represents, Cinderella in America shows these tales truly merit the designation American. William Bernard McCarthy is professor emeritus of English at Pennsylvania State University. His previous books are The Ballad Matrix: Personality, Milieu, and the Oral Tradition and Jack in Two Worlds: Contemporary North American Tales and Their Tellers .

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 382 In this 334th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Native American Fairy Tale "SHIN-GE-BIS FOOLS THE NORTH WIND”. Long ago in the time when only a few people lived upon the earth, there dwelt in the North a tribe of fishermen. They knew they best fish were to be found in the summer season, far up in the frozen places where no one could live in the winter at all. For the King of this Land of Ice was a fierce old man called Ka-bib-on-okka by the Indians—meaning in our language, the North Wind. Though the Land of Ice stretched across the top of the world for thousands and thousands of miles, Ka-bib-on-okka was not satisfied. If he could have had his way there would have been no grass or green trees anywhere; all the world would have been white from one year's end to another, all the rivers frozen tight, and all the country covered with snow and ice. In the summer the fishermen went north for the good fish. But when the South Wind began to dimish, the began to grow thick and the wind cold, they said it is time to go. That is all except Shin-ge-bis, the diver. He only laughed. The fishermen looked at him with amazement as they packed up and left. And so Shin-ge-bis stayed ready for the challenge Ka-bib-on-okka would bring. When Ka-bib-on-okka saw this he was insulted and thought Shin-ge-bis should be taught a lesson. What happened next you ask…? Well many things happened, some silly and some serious. To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out! Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories".
