Hi Kate-
Did a little poking around for TALES FROM THE SMOKEHOUSE, and it
doesn't look too good. Best I can tell, it's out of print, so your best
bet is to look for it on the used book market.
ALso, it looks like it was originally published in Canada, but never
reprinted in the states. Here's the details to help you track it down:

TALES FROM THE SMOKEHOUSE / by Herbert T. Schwarz; illustrated
by Daphne Odjig. Edmonton : Hurtig, 1974. 102 pages

Good luck!
Lisa Mitten

Well, it seems there's been a new printing. Here's a note from our own
Dr. Maureen ("Micki") Korp, at the University of Ottawa:

| You're in luck, Kate. The book has been reprinted, although it's
| not indicated on the biblio that it is a new printing. So contact
| the publisher directly for
|
| Herbert T.Schwarz. Tales from the Smokehouse. Edmonton, Alberta:
| Hurtig Publishers, 1974.
|
| My article on Daphne Odjig, the Potawatomi artist who illustrated
| the stories was recently published (with lots of drawings, too).
| You might enjoy that also. Daphne sure did (she's in her 70s now).
