Books with title The Night Journey

In the setting sun, raindrops darken into spotted markings and the nightly jaguar begins his journey through the dark jungle, where the wind whistles to the monkey's chatter. As the night ends, he climbs into the canopy at the jungle's edge, springs into the ocean, and rises again with the sun. Burton Albert's text was inspired by a Mayan urn from A.D. 600 - 900. The paintings by Robert Roth bring his special vision to the poetry as they evoke the mystery of the lordly jaguar's journey through the night.

An evil Cherokee spirit, Nightgoer seeks to be released upon the world. But she has enemies, a young Cherokee boy named John Wolf, son of a Shaman, born of the Crow clan; an ancient medicine man who walks on water; John's constant companion and friend, Limping Bird; and Cat's Eyes, a young and beautiful Cherokee girl. They are joined by Beloved Woman and other Cherokee whose destinies since birth have been to stop Nightgoer from escaping Whisper Lake and return her forever to the Underworld. But it is John who is summoned to leave the res in Oklahoma and return to North Carolina, a trek loaded with challenges for a naive boy who rarely left the reservation. He makes the trip with his friend, Limping Bird, who is paralyzed from the waist down and so must be carried over his shoulders. They fight evil spirits, such as demon wolves and others sent by Nightgoer to stop the duo from reaching their destination. It is only with the help of the ancient medicine man and the beautiful and spirited Cat's Eyes that they are able to make it. The young girl, who shifts often to a golden cougar, becomes the leader of this trio as they make their way to Whisper Lake.
