With few exceptions, the tales refer to the time “when all the animals were people.” This new edition enhances Adamson’s seminal work with the inclusion of a biographical sketch of Adamson and of her friend and noted ethnomusicologist George Herzog, who produced the appended music transcriptions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMap\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePhonetic Key\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eI.
