The Dress-Up Mirror

Crispin Books has recently released The Dress-Up Mirror.

This mystery novel for children aged eight and up is a sequel to Shadow Island.

In my experience children love ghost stories and suspenseful mysteries, and I wrote these books and other collections of ghost stories (The Fresh Grave, The Ghost of Honeymoon Creek, and Dripping Blood Cave) for my own children. And I was understandably delighted Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Raymond Bial (?)

“To be clean in body and spirit, they "went to water," bathing often in clear pools and mountain streams. They considered water, the sun, and fire to be holy gifts of Kanati, the Great Spirit.”
― Raymond Bial, The Cherokee

“Communities were linked by seven networks of trails over which the Cherokee traveled to trade goods with the Iroquois, Chickasaw, Catawba, and other tribes as far away as the Gulf of Mexico.”

“Cherokee men were active traders. They traded silver ornaments they had crafted, as well as deerskins and beaver pelts, with other tribes and European traders. A man could become wealthy, but if he did he had to deal with the disapproval of others in the clan and town who were not as well-off. They might scorn his wealth, and the shamans might wish him ill.”
― Raymond Bial, The Cherokee
