In this book, first published in 1972, he recounts a Zuni myth first recorded a century ago by the anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing. Hillerman's version of the story, written to be read by children ten years old and up, will have equal appeal for adults with an interest in Native American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In our society,\" Hillerman explains, \"this would be called a 'Bible story.'
