Boas, Teit, Hill-Tout, Barbeau, Swanton, Jenness, the luminaries of field research in British Columbia, are discussed here in A Guide to B.C. Indian Myth and Legend, and their work in Indian folklore evaluated. Other scholars, amateurs and Native informants of the past and present are given ample consideration, making this book a comprehensive survey of myth collecting in B.C. The aim is to reveal the true extent of this neglected body of world literature, and to begin to sort out the more valuable texts from those damaged in transmission. A Guide to B.C. Indian Myth and Legend is a valuable reference tool for beginning or advanced students of anthropology, and an absorbing look at the research process itself.

A guide to B. C. Indian myth and legend
The name of the story that I read is "How Serval Got His Spots" and since this is a fable, there isn't a author. This fable was told by the Ndebele people which is a community of people in Africa. The genre of this book is Folklore and the sub genre of this story is Fables. I chose to read this story for my English Presentation, since our unit is about fables. This particular story is retold by Nick Greaves.
This story explains how Servals got their spots. The setting of this book is In Africa, a long time ago. The central characters are a Serval and a snake. In this fable, Servals had no spots, and therefore were called 'Lion's Little Cousins'. Servals wished nothing but to have a beautiful coat like a Zebra. Then, one day when a snake got sick and no one else would help him, Serval was so nice to help him get better. To thank this act of kindness, the snake bit the Serval, and gave him spots.
This story teaches me a lesson about being kind and helpful. The Serval helped the snake when he was sick and no one else would help him. Also I think this story teaches that you should be kind to others, or else not many people will offer to help you when you need help. I liked this story because I think it teaches you important lessons. Since this is a fable, the characters didn't seem real. (Animals can talk) All in all, I liked this story.
