Magical Horses: An Original Haitian Folktale

whose arrogance and greed lead him to a horrible fate. Azaka's fear of

losing his fortune by sharing with others reminds one of the pitfalls of

capitalism as we know it. The reader is taken to the magical world of

Haitian mythology, full of visual intensity, song, dance, and colorful

rituals that culminate to a surprising ending. Magical Horses is a must-

read that explores the archetypes of a spiritual culture that has been

mystified and misunderstood. This story hits home in a way that no other folktale does.
