A book from the Americas:
Tasunka: a Lakota horse legend.
Told and illustrated by Donald F. Montileaux; Lakota translation by Agnes Gay.
South Dakota State Historical Society Press, 2014.
A treasure of a book, with illustrations that purposefully reflect the illustration style of trading ledgers.
It's a style that supports and reflects the setting of the story.
This legend is a perfect example of the importance of traditional knowledge, and how often Western science supports the legends.
