Unlike the first two volumes (\u003ci\u003eThe Raw and the Cooked, From Honey to Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e), which are devoted to South American myths, the present one establishes relations with North America, which is the subject of the fourth (\u003ci\u003eThe Naked Man\u003c\/i\u003e). . . . In the course of the analysis, the myths link up with ideas of more general interest. Thus, we find discussions of numeration, of morals, and of the origin of the novel. . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Origin of Table Manners\u003c\/i\u003e is thus of special interest to students of American Indian mythology, although it contains ideas of interest to other fields and even to the general reader.\"--Daniel C.
