Review Quotes: PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:
Choctaw Tales is a fine addition to Tom Mould's oeuvre on verbal art among the Choctaw, a large and important Native American people of the Southeastern United States. Viewed more broadly, it is also a major addition to the folklore literature of the Native peoples of Eastern North America.--Jason Baird Jackson "Western Folklore"
