Description: Toronto: HarperPerennial, 1995. First Paperback Edition; First Printing. Softcover. ISBN: 000647960X. Light edgewear to card covers, Previous owner's name stamp and date. Back card cover crease, pages lightly yellowed ; A bright, solid book ; Trade PB; 7.80 X 5.30 X 0.70 inches; 224 pages; "W.P. Kinsella's popular "Indian stories", mostly set on the Hobbema reserve of Alberta, have resulted in a remarkable string of highly entertaining tales that have been superficially attacked as racist. They feature a Cree narrator Silas Ermineskin, a would-be writer, and his outrageous entrepreneurial sidekick Frank Fencepost, as they invariably outwit white authorities. Despite the widespread appeal of these stories, Kinsella didn't receive the Leacock Medal for Humour until 1987, ten years after he made his debut. He flatly rejects criticism that he has demeaned Indians by resorting to stereotypes. Dance Me Outside, a superb story in his first collection, was made into a Canadian movie by director Bruce McDonald." ABCBookworld. Very Good .
