Tales from the Whispering Basket is an excellent selection of short stories and poetry by Nipmuc Tribal member of Massachusetts, Larry Spotted Crow Mann. He draws on his Native American roots, but also delivers magnificent tales that transcend all walks of life. This captivating collection will take the reader on an epic journey of adventure and wonder that will surely stimulate a mosaic of passions! His story "Deal Me In" is based on a story of love and unity that was formerly passed down orally in his family for many generations and gives you a taste of his tribe's past and present.

Mann's compilation of Poetry in this volume reflects both this world and the places of dreams and nightmares.
