El autor creció escuchando las historias que le contaban sus abuelos y sus tíos. Eran historias sobre fantasmas y cuentos del Tío Conejo, así como leyendas sobre indios y animales que podían hablar entre ellos. A él le encantaron las leyendas y las historias indígenas sobre cómo sucedieron las cosas, como por qué los murciélagos cuelgan boca abajo y cómo fue que los apaches obtuvieron el fuego. Este libro trata sobre estas dos historias, transmitidas oralmente por generaciones de narradores apaches. Estas historias pueden ser un poco diferentes, pero eso sucede cada vez que una historia pasa de un narrador a otro. Él espera que disfrutes estas historias y te alienta a descubrir otras maravillosas leyendas indígenas. No te decepcionarás.
