Summary
"Inspired by the residual fear and the need for stories of resilence following September 11, Kathleen Ragan, has secured the globe and collected these 63 tales that respond to fear in its wide variety of incarnations. From the old Japanese woman who tricks the tengu monster to the bluebird who uses the Chinook wind to teach her mother compassion, Outfoxing Fear is a collection of positive, even utopian, folktales arranged thematically around topics such as the nature of fear, courage, the importance of laughter, and the need for hope."--BOOK JACKET.
