Letter from the Editor's Desk
“Welcome to our Winter Issue, dedicated to Tricksters dark and bright . . .”
Tricksters
“It is Trickster's role to shake things up, to transgress traditional boundaries . . .”
The Owlglass & the Moon of Gold:
Tyll Eulenspiegel & Kim Seon–dal
“It was not long before I began to notice parallels between the Korean and German tales . . .”
Coyote Goes to College
“There was always trouble when Coyote was ignored. . . .”
Uncle Tompa Tales
“As soon as her mother heard the impossible story of Uncle's trick, she yelled, 'No! No!.' . .”
Ted Hughes and Crow
“Crow comes complete with all the mythological and folk–loric accretions which crows have gathered through their long existence . . .”
A Chorus of Clowns
“It is easy to imagine Groucho with satyr's hooves or Harpo in the mask of an ancient Fool. . . .”
