[LM_NET] Gen: Doug Wood

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

I haven't seen him, but do know that one of his books on American Indians 
was criticized by Betsy Hearne. Hearne is currently the Director of the 
Center for Children's Books here at UIUC. She has done some excellent work 
on folktales and how authors retell folktales.

You can read the article in which she discusses Wood here:

For more of her writing on this topic, visit her page of selected articles. 
In particular, read her "Cite the Source" and "Respect the Source."
