Storyteller figures represent one of the more recent developments underway in Native American art today.
The continued demand for Mark Bahti's delightful book about these figures and the traditions from which they spring is a testament to their enormous appeal. Bahti has gathered together a collection of storyteller figures to show trends in the art form with text introducing each pueblo and its stories. Pronunciation notes help in reading them aloud, and photographs illustrate the process of making the dolls. Pueblo Stories and Storytellers remains the most comprehensive and reasonably priced introduction to the subject on the market! Photographs throughout
