Lost Indian Magic: A mystery story of the red man as he lived before the white man came

“Out in the region of the sage and the pine; in the far reaches of the ever-mysterious desert, the Indian campfires of the long ago heard many a tale well worth the telling. Some there were that have been handed down, through the channel of an unwrit tongue, from age to youth – told, retold, and told again until they come to the hearing of even you and me. Thus the ancient tale of Kay'-yah and the Lost Magic comes to be set down.” The authors, Pasadena, California, 1918. Author Grace Moon was a well known writer of children’s books, with a particular interest in Native American stories. She won a Newbery Honor award for children’s literature in 1929. In “Lost Indian Magic”, she tells the story of a young Native American (Kay’-yah) whose tribe’s magic went missing years earlier and his adventures as he seeks to restore the stolen magic to his people.
