Indian TalesHailed by Ezra Pound as the "American Ovid" and renowned as a linguist and a self described "amateur anthropologist," Jaime de Angulo drew on his forty years among the Pit River tribe of California to create the amalgam of fiction, folklore, tall tales, jokes, ceremonial ritual, and adventure that is Indian Tales.

Hailed by Ezra Pound as the "American Ovid" and renowned as a linguist and a self-described "amateur anthropologist," Jaime de Angulo drew on his forty years among the Pit River tribe of California to create the amalgam of fiction, folklore, tall tales, jokes, ceremonial ritual, and adventure that is Indian Tales. He first wrote these stories to entertain his children, borrowing freely from the worlds of the Pit, and also of the Miwok, Pomo, and Karok. Here are the adventures of Father Bear, Mother Antelope, the little boy Fox, and, of course, Old Man Coyote in a time when people and animals weren't so very far apart. The author's intent was not so much to rer anthropologically faithful translations-though they are here-as to create a magical world fueled by the power of storytelling while avoiding the dangers for the romantic and picturesque. True to the playful and imaginative spirit he portrays, de Angulo mischievously recommends to readers: "When you find yourself searching for some mechanical explanation, if you don't know the answer, invent one. When you pick out some inconsistency or marvelous improbability, satisfy your curiosity like the old Indian folk: 'Well, that's the way they tell that story. I didn't make it up '"

Smooth
I was looking for a lotion that both hydrated my skin, but also didn’t leave any residue. It’s the perfect thickness and my skin absorbs it well. The lip balm is also a plus it smells good and leaves my lips feeling moist.

Best cream for sore, cracked hands
My hands are often sore and cracked from the cold winter air and a lot of handwashing. I’ve tried a lot of lotions and creams over the years and would typically apply about 10 times a day. This is by far the best cream I have used. It really does last through handwashing and I only have to apply 2-3 times a day. This is the first winter in years my hands are not consistently dry, sore, and cracked.
