Turtle carries the world on her back: this story has been told by different cultures around the world for generations. Like Mother Nature, Turtle is unhurried, wise, and enduring. She walks on land, swims in water, and breathes the air and so embodies three of the four elements of creation. We have much to learn from Turtle.
Selected especially for retelling, their cultural variety, and the array of roles Turtle plays--from trickster to advisor--these folktales illustrate the "many masks Turtle so effortlessly wears." Included are tales from Africa, Japan, India, the Americas, and an ancient Aboriginal story.

reviewed Eleven turtle tales on April 17, 2011 Eleven turtle tales
This is a worthwhile collection of turtle stories from around the world as told by Pleasant DeSpain. Each story offers a different perspective on the same character--a reptile whose place in the mythologies of various cultures around the world is a lofty one. The turtle is both teacher and trickster--a partner in creation and a confounder of those who think themselves great. You don't get to stick around for more than two million years on looks alone. The turtle shows what brains, perseverance, and forebearance can do for a creature.
