"As performed by Andrew Barnes, this prize winning text, compiled by the illustrious Virginia Hamilton, is a gem" --AudioFile Magazine FEB/MAR 2005

Knowledge of our past brings hope for our future...

Virginia Hamilton (1936-2002), a giant in the world of children's literature, was the first Black to win a Newbery Medal and the first children's book author to be awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant. In her prize-winning anthology of American Black folktales, The People Could Fly, Hamilton has gathered and retold a collection of stories that teach us much, move us deeply, and make us laugh out loud.

Savor this bridge to both the past and future of a people and a nation as you hear these timeless tales brilliantly performed by Andrew Barnes.
