{"product_id":"the-ancient-child-a-novel","title":"The Ancient Child: A Novel","description":"\"An intriguing combination of myth, fiction, and storytelling that demonstrates the continuing power and range of Momaday's creative vision....These are magical words. Listen.\" —Washington Post\nPulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet N. Scott Momaday shapes the ancient Kiowa myth of a boy who turned into a bear into a timeless American classic.\nThe Ancient Child juxtaposes Indian lore and Wild West legend into a hypnotic, often lyrical contemporary novel. It is the story of Locke Setman, known as Set, a Native American raised far from the reservation by his adoptive father. Set feels a strange aching in his soul and, returning to tribal lands for the funeral of his grandmother, is drawn irresistibly to the fabled bear-boy. When he meets Grey, a beautiful young medicine woman with a visionary gift, his world is turned upside down. Here is a magical saga of one man's tormented search for his identity—a quintessential American novel, and a great one.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060973455\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0060973455.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Momaday, N.
