Navajo medicine man Charlie Willeto spent the last years of his life prodigiously carving figures of wood, becoming a well-known personage in Navajo folk art. Although he died in 1964, his work lives on in this glossy collection of essays and photographs, which depict 100 of his carvings in full colour reproduction. We should thank this book for bringing Willeto out of obscurity.
