(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Suki Boynton. This folktale collection centers on women as clever, witty, and strong, with ten retellings (originally published in 1981 in a larger collection) from Scandinavian, British, Irish, German, Swahili, Chinese, Punjab, and First Nations' traditions. As stated in her preface, Phelps "exercised the traditional storyteller's privilege" to reimagine the tales in one enchanting and evocative voice. The volume includes an introduction by Daniel José Older and occasional sepia illustrations. Reading list.
