![]() ![]() The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush is a natural companion to The Legend of the Bluebonnet. ![]() However, the respect dePaola has for the story and its tellers is evident, and the legend is beautifully illustrated with the same gentle feeling as all his other books. It doesn't appear that he was able to do much firsthand research or discuss the story with the people from whom it comes. With The Legend of the Bluebonnet in particular, dePaola strove to represent the Nʉmʉnʉʉ (Comanche) religion faithfully, acknowledging that they worship many spirits, rather than one god or Great Spirit. The Legend of the Poinsettia is the only Christmas legend. ![]() Tony's Bread doesn't quite fit with the rest, since it's set in Italy and the other legends occur in the Americas. This omnibus edition of tales combines The Legend of the Bluebonnet, The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush, The Legend of the Poinsettia, and Tony's Bread (the legend of panettone). ![]()
