Wiley & The Hairy Man
Fable adapted by Jack Stokes
Grades
5–12
Like Aesop's fables, Wiley & the Hairy Man is drawn from native fold wisdom "Outwit the Hairy Mand and he won't schar you again" says mammy. Trembling, Wiley sets out for the woods, prepared to confront the Hairy Man. He looks fear in the face and outwits it. The adventures are presented in lyric poetry and mime. The actors become the woods, the cabin, and all the props, making Wiley imaginative and easy to mount.
