The Legend of Leelanau (Myths, Legends, Fairy and Folktales) - Hardcover

"Another successful collaboration from the author and illustrator of "The Legend of Sleepy Bear," this 18th century tale was originally retold as 'Leelanau, or The Lost Daughter' by an Indian agent. Wargin's version is a fluid retelling that even young listeners will comprehend and older readers will enjoy. Lush greens, browns, and gold colors dominate the double-page spreads with the lovely Leelanau depicted as a child just bordering on womanhood. An author's note explains that this tale also accounts for the origin of the name of Leelanau County in Michigan."

Although she knows it is forbidden to go into the Spirit Wood, young maiden Leelinau misses her fairy friends, the Pukwudjinees, and risks her safety to visit them on special occasions.
